A woman being released from the Killeen City Jail on prior charges was rearrested on Monday after she was accused of intentionally spitting on a jailer as she was being released, according to court records.
An arrest affidavit states Latisha Cassandra Allen became upset when the keys to her vehicle were not located in her property as she was being released. She was informed, since she was arrested in a vehicle, the keys would remain with the vehicle.
She refused to sign any paperwork as protocol for being released, at which point she became angry and aggressive toward the jailer as she was being escorted to the exit of the jail and proceeded to spit in the officer’s face, according to arrest report.
Audio from the body camera worn by a Killeen police officer can be heard with the suspect spitting and the officer saying “she spit on me,” according to the report.
Photos were taken of the saliva on the beard and upper chest area of the jailer’s shirt, the affidavit stated.
Allen was rearrested and charged with harassment by a person in a correctional facility, a third degree felony. Bail was set at $75,000 by Justice of the Peace Gregory Johnson. According to the Bell County inmate search, Allen was in Bell County Jail on Wednesday.

If it’s not their skin color you hate. Why refer humans to monkeys? The act was very stupid and some people really don’t have the highest IQ but that’s every race.. no race is better. That’s what’s wrong with you & people who think like you. We would all be living in the 30s with little advancements if they put your ignorant body in charge.
Some people fail to exercise restraint.
She is her own worst enemy.
