Alida Mattson kicked the deputy while being processed into the Natrona County Detention Center, according to Assistant Natrona County District Attorney Trevor Schenk. The prosecutor said deputies were simply trying to remove Mattson's shoes, which is standard practice when being booked into the jail when Mattson kicked the deputy.
