Waukesha Woman Arrested After Narcotics Anonymous Brawl at St. Luke's Church

Waukesha police officer received a cut while attempting to take Samantha A. Mueller, 18, of Waukesha, into custody.

A Waukesha woman no longer is anonymous after she hit several people following a Narcotics Anonymous meeting Wednesday at St. Luke’s Church, according to a criminal complaint.

Samantha A. Mueller, 18, was charged Thursday with physical abuse of a child, attempted battery of a police officer, resisting an officer causing a soft tissue injury, two counts of battery and disorderly conduct. If convicted of the charges stemming from the incident, Mueller faces more than a decade in prison.

Police were called to the church for a report of a fight. When an officer arrived, he learned that Mueller had hit several people following a Narcotics Anonymous meeting at the church, according to the criminal complaint.

Mueller told the officer people were “trash talking” her and calling her names in text messages. She confronted the individuals and she hit several people, including a 16-year-old boy, according to the complaint.

As the office told Mueller she was under arrest, she started yelling, swearing, throwing her arms in the air and violently pulling away from another officer, the complaint states.

Mueller went into a boxer stance, according to the complaint, and began swinging her fists at a police officer, attempting to punch him in the face. The officer decentralized her but she tried to still hit both officers, so they delivered hand strikes and a knee strike to make her comply.

One of the police officers went to Waukesha Memorial Hospital for treatment to a cut hand and pain and swelling in his knee.

A different officer spoke to Mueller again, the complaint states, and she told the officer it was wrong for her to resist the officers. She told the officer she blacked out during the incident and was just “going off.”

Mueller is also charged with forgery and theft from a separate incident. She was released from the Waukesha County Jail on signature and surety bonds.

What a crazy person. I mean come on. Now to do that kind of stuff in church. She needs to get with it. Church is a place to worship god. And to do that kind of stuff in his house is not good.

I'm sure a "community" like room is used for meetings by such groups as I know other churches do the same thing. Do you think St. Matthias has their homeless shelter in their church? Salvation Army shelter? Alcoholics anonymous always met at a church on South St. These are wonderful, kind and compassionate people who provide a place for people in need of help. Why do persons like yourself need to distort their image by suggesting a high young woman and the police are fighting in their church?.....ludicrous!!

People need to understand that some people are still sick and need help. This girl used to be a good friend of mine but do to her illness I couldnt let it effect my recovery. She needs to do exactly what she is doing, go to treatment. We do things out of spite when we are not in the right state of mind. But, to judge someone for there actions is also against gods will for us. So before you pass judgments on someone you know nothing about maybe you should look into and learn to understand the diease of addiction. We are people just like everyone else, it just takes some longer than others to begin their process of recovery.

I am totally comfortable passing judgement.
@-;-'---- Rose March 19, 2013 at 02:40 am
@Anastassia Will you please re-read my comment!! I was not the one judging anyone...that was Michelle. I was merely pointing out to Michelle that the alleged fight wasn't in the CHURCH!!! You owe me an apology.

At A.A she would have been asked to leave and take your drug stories with her, it's sad, but on the other hand it's good to see young people coming through the doors of N.A…. principles before personalities …is one slogan she get some day, she needs to keep coming back …
Geoff Greer March 19, 2013 at 09:09 am

Thank you those educated responses to rwcovery. it used to be illegal for more than two addicts to me anywhere at the same time due to conspiracy theory. a little history for my fellow addicts. thank god my higher power everyday that i have a place
like this to go. had it not been for the old timers of aa giving us the stink eye and boot our founder would have never had a big enouph desire or resentment hahaha to makr a program so specific to our needs everyday i attend i have three committment and a sponsor . i am blessed to be in the rooms with people like her. she keeps me clean. and hopefull she will keep coming back and learn from people like us NA as a whole! If only i could have saved myself the misery by not getting as young ad 18 but i had to know what i wanted to do about my problem and how you could help. i like the one who said some are sicker than others especially if someone in the rooms was hat'in. i was recently in the room where someone dumped scolding coffee on a man twice her size and an ex skin head punched him following. reason they didnt like him.... the funny thing guy that got hit 2 years clean girl who threw coffe new comer. guy who hit just picked up 18 months. Sad thing is girls not around anymore. we know as much as why we took that first drug as much as much achics can
Tonya R McEachron March 19, 2013 at 12:21 pm

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.

Will these need water? Because the Garden Center at Target has great deals on "no water"Read More tomato plants, which would surely save me some much needed General Assistance money.

According to a recent episode of Judge Judy, tomatoes can be both poisonous and deadly.

Update! Collin was just selected as one of two STATE TROOPERS for Dodge County. He and otherRead More representatives were interviewed yesterday. Word is that he may be assisting Governor Scott Walker off the helicopter when he arrives at Badger Boys State later this week. Governor Walker is a past Badger Boys State representative.
