Woman arrested after late-night escapade

Bloomington police arrested a woman for vandalism and disorderly conduct June 27 after she crossed a street and exposed herself to traffic.

Officers were dispatched to the 100 block of West Kirkwood Avenue where Taffany Ducharme, 44, was yelling on the street. She reportedly would not stop yelling she wanted to wear a wire and snitch on people who she knew were making methamphetamine and had marijuana.

One witness told officers she had broken one of the front windows at Uptown Café. Another said after she did this she walked across the street, blocking traffic and exposing her breasts to drivers. Ducharme said she wanted to go to jail for breaking the window, according to police.

Officers handcuffed her and took her to the Monroe County Jail, where she was booked. In Ducharme’s purse was a clear glass smoking device, which Ducharme said was used for smoking crack cocaine. The officer also found prescription drugs which Ducharme admitted she had stolen.
