Report: Unable to buy wine, Pasco woman complains to deputy, then attacks him

HOLIDAY — A New Port Richey woman not allowed to buy more wine was arrested early Monday after taking out her frustrations on a Pasco deputy, arrest reports state.

Brooke Zylka, 45, pounded on the cruiser window of a deputy, who was typing up reports, just after midnight near the CVS Pharmacy at 2513 U.S. 19, deputies said. Her speech slurring and her breath spiked with alcohol, Zylka complained loudly that the clerks refused to sell her some wine, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office report said.

When the deputy began to roll up his window, the report said, Zylka tried pushing it back down, screaming, "No, you're going to listen to me." She shoved him in the arm twice through the open window before tripping and falling on the curb behind her, deputies wrote.

Zylka eventually walked back to her car, handed over her license, cursed at the deputy and said, "I'm going home."

As a crowd formed to watch, deputies arrested Zylka, who kicked and pushed at them as they placed her in the back of a cruiser, the report said.

Zylka was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting an officer with violence, driving under the influence and two counts of battery on an officer. She remains in the Land O'Lakes jail in lieu of $15,250 bail.
