On April 9, deputies responding to a call about a burglary in process said they found Diana Lynne Rogers, 39, in the backyard of a house in Athens, according to the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office.

“Rogers was acting suspicious and attempted to lead the deputies away from the home,” the sheriff’s office said. “When deputies attempted to detain her, she became irate and began fighting."

The deputies eventually subdued Rogers and were able to handcuff her, according to officials.
