CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A woman is behind bars after police say she admitted to lying to them about her role in a crash and hit a deputy during her jail intake early Sunday, according to an arrest report.

According to the report, investigators found that Hilt was not being truthful about her role in the crash, based statements from several witnesses. Hilt then admitted that she lied, saying she wanted to help the real driver get away from police. the report says she consented to field sobriety tests, but does not say whether or not she passed them. The report says Hilt also admitted to giving several fake identities while being questioned, and was arrested and taken to the county jail.
The report says Hilt became “belligerent”, refusing to cooperate with jail intake procedures. She continued to lie about her identity, claiming to be a twin, and that had replaced her fingerprints with someone else’s. The officers had to use force to get her fingerprints so that she could be properly identified.
According to the report, Hilt hit a corrections deputy that was trying to help with her intake into the jail.
Online arrest records show that Hilt is charged with false reports, obstruction of justice, and assaulting a first responder.
