Plea deal for Arizona suspect who kicked deputy’s eye out

TUCSON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY, KSWT) — The woman accused of kicking a Pima County Sheriff's deputy in the face so hard that he lost an eye has reached a plea deal with prosecutors, the deputy says.

Yesennia Gonzalez pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault on a peace officer and one count of extreme DUI, court officials confirmed Tuesday. The deputy involved in the incident -- Sgt. Mark Bustamante -- says the plea was part of a deal with prosecutors.

The case stems back to December 2016, when a DUI unit with PCSD pulled Gonzalez over along Alvernon Way for suspected drunk driving. Reports from PCSD claim her blood-alcohol level was two and a half times the legal limit and that she was "antagonistic," and "resisted arrest."
