A woman was arrested after she was caught on video throwing a punch at a Michigan officer during a traffic stop.
The woman, who has been identified as Kristen Campbell was a passenger in the car that was pulled over.
Campbell was seen on dashcam footage getting upset and agitated after she found out her friend was being arrested before she then decided to sucker-punch Lincoln Park Officer Patrick Cutler.
The entire episode began after the officer pulled the car over only to find that its driver didn't have a license.
Campbell, who was a passenger in the vehicle, then became verbally aggressive with Cutler while he arrested her friend.
'I am sorry,' she said to NBC News looking back at the incident. 'I told him that twice. I don't know what came over me.'
Campbell was sent to jail for two days following the assault.
'I'm tired of your mouth,' the officer can be heard saying on the clip. 'Get the f*** out of here before I arrest you for the s*** you threw out the window for littering.'
Cutler responds, 'Get out now or you can go too, with her! You know what, forget it,' the officer is heard saying as he quickly loses his patience.
Campbell was ordered to the ground but a struggle ensued during which the officer lost his handcuffs which Campbell then grabbed.
'Let go of my handcuffs now,' Cutler demanded. 'Take your hands off them.'
The police officer used then a stun gun on the woman three times before she finally was subdued as at first it appeared to have little effect.
'Put your hands behind your back,' Cutler instructed.
Campbell said she threw a punch at the officer because she didn't know who was grabbing her despite the cop being in uniform.
'I didn't see who was behind me, honestly,' Campbell said to NBC.
Officer Cutler ended up returning to work with a black eye.
'She started running her mouth and I told her she's going to jail,' he said of the incident at the time of the arrest. 'I go to grab her hands and she turns around and got me with those rings.'
Looking back on the entire incident, Campbell realizes that she made a terrible mistake and could easily have been killed.
