JAMESTOWN, N.Y. – On October 5, 2025, at approximately 10:29 p.m., officers from the Jamestown Police Department’s Second Platoon responded to a reported fight involving several individuals at the 7-Eleven on North Main Street.

According to police, Rodriguez appeared highly intoxicated after reportedly consuming alcohol earlier in the evening at a local establishment. While in custody, she allegedly became combative and disorderly.
