ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An Albuquerque woman faces up to eight years in prison when sentenced after pleading guilty to a charge of assaulting a federal law enforcement officer.

Authorities said 38-year-old Charmaine Peralta bit and repeatedly kicked a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force member while officers were arresting Peralta on a warrant in a drug case.

Peralta pleaded guilty Friday in federal court in Albuquerque.



Her sentencing hasn’t been sentenced yet.
