SYCAMORE – A 61-year-old Cortland woman kicked and hit police officers who were trying to serve her an order of protection connected with a domestic battery case, police said.

Shirley Fontana, of the 300 block of South Somonauk Road, was charged with three counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer and a single count of resisting arrest Wednesday, according to a news release from the
DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office. She remained in DeKalb County Jail on Thursday, unable to post 10 percent of her $50,000 bail.

The incident involving two sheriff’s deputies and a Cortland police officer came four days after she allegedly hit her roommate in the head, causing the roommate to stumble and cut a hand in a loose nail on the wall, police said.
