MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A 31-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday at Haulover Marina after she attacked a Miami-Dade police officer who told her she wasn’t allowed to pick up people on her boat at the fuel dock, authorities said.
According to her arrest report, Daisy Paola Encarnacion, of Sunny Isles Beach, was spotted by the officer, who was working a Fourth of July detail at the marina’s fuel pumps, getting off her boat and entering the fuel pump store, where she met up with two other women who were waiting for her to pick them up.

Police said the officer confronted Encarnacion as she and her friends were walking back toward her boat and advised her that a Miami-Dade County ordinance prohibited people from picking up or dropping people off at the fueling boat dock.
According to her arrest report, Encarnacion began yelling at the officer, saying she didn’t care and that her friends were getting on the boat.
Police said two officers at the marina told Encarnacion to lower her voice, at which time she yelled, “I don’t give a f***” and poked one of the officer’s body-worn cameras with her fingers, which was located on the lower right side of his gun belt.
The officer then handcuffed Encarnacion and escorted her to his vehicle in order to temporarily detain her while he issued her a trespassing citation, authorities said.
But police said she became “belligerent,” refusing to get inside the police car and biting the officer on his left arm.
Police said she also kicked the officer in the stomach, upper leg and lower right leg after he got her inside the vehicle.
The arresting officer said he smelled alcohol on Encarnacion’s breath.
She was arrested on charges of battery on a police officer and resisting an officer with violence.
