A lawyer’s cry for “HELP!!!!” to get her client released from jail not only worked but saw the judge blast Washington, D.C., officials over the case.
Kristal Rios Esquivel was arrested on August 20 at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., after officials say she spat in a police sergeant’s face and kicked an officer’s leg, according to court documents. The incident occurred after police told Rios Esquivel she was being arrested for unlawful entry because she allegedly went through a door marked “Staff Only” at the zoo, the documents say.
