According to an update from the South Beloit Police Department, on July 12 at about 10:45 p.m. they were dispatched to Willowbrook, Flying J, for an intoxicated truck driver. Officers arrived and located the female truck driver, later identified as Laura Meredik. Officers observed her in the cab of the semi about to leave the gas station. Officers ordered her out of the semi and she refused. Meredik punched officers while they attempted to get her to exit the vehicle. Officers fought with Meredik as she attempted to put the semi into gear and drive away with officers partially in the cab of the semi. Officers were able to pull her out of the driver's seat where she and the officers fell to the ground from the driver's seat of the cab. Meredik and the officers received minor injuries. She was transported to the hospital for evaluation and released shortly later. The Illinois State Police assisted in the investigation and handled the Commercial Motor Vehicle DUI. The South Beloit Police Department charged Meredik with two counts of aggravated battery to a law enforcement officer, criminal damage to government property, and resisting arrest. She was lodged at the Winnebago County Jail with no bond.
