WILKES-BARRE — A woman accused of kicking and vomiting on two Pennsylvania State Police troopers after being arrested for a drunken driving crash pleaded guilty in Luzerne County Court on Monday.

Anna Marie Smith, 32, had an odor of an alcoholic beverage when troopers arrived at the scene of a vehicle crash on Ruckle Hill Road in Conyngham Township on Feb. 20, according to court records.

Court records say Smith was operating a Chevrolet Traverse that struck a tree. Two children inside the vehicle were not injured.

After Smith was detained, court records say she intentionally vomited inside a cruiser and kicked a trooper twice in the leg.

Smith pleaded guilty to two counts each of assault of a law enforcement officer and endangering the welfare of children, and one count each of aggravated assault and driving under the influence before Judge Joseph F. Sklarosky Jr.

Smith remains free on bail and is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 31.
