On Wednesday around 8 p.m., Bristol Township police responded to the Wawa parking lot at Green Lane and Route 13 for the report of an unconscious female.
The female, later identified as Angelica Wigglesworth, 23, of Levittown, was reported to have been dumped out of a vehicle and left in the parking lot by unknown subjects who fled the scene. Wigglesworth was then found by bystanders to be unconscious, according to court papers.

Police along with personnel from the Bucks County Rescue Squad arrived on the scene and administered Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal drug.
Wigglesworth, who was then transported to Lower Bucks Hospital for further treatment, allegedly regained consciousness and became combative with the rescue squad personnel during the transport. In turn, personnel restrained Wigglesworth with handcuffs, police said.

Wigglesworth then admitted to paramedics that she snorted heroin and had not asked for their help. She then demanded that she be released, proceeded to pull the IV out of her hand against the paramedic’s instructions and threw the bloody needle at personnel, court papers stated.

Police said that Wigglesworth continued to bleed and struggle with multiple paramedics before lunging towards one and attempting to punch and kick another. During the struggle, Wigglesworth kicked a paramedic in the left side of her face, her left arm and her lower back, causing her to seek treatment at a local hospital.
Rescue personnel, according to officials, had to physically restrain Wigglesworth until officers arrived on scene.
Police officers allegedly discovered a clear plastic bag containing two smaller bags of suspected crack cocaine on the stretcher after Wigglesworth had moved. Officers also uncovered a clear burnt glass smoking pipe in the jacket Wigglesworth had been wearing.

When Wigglesworth was asked her name by officials, she instead gave the fictitious name “Latisha Jenkins.” Wigglesworth was later determined to have an active warrant for her arrest, police said.
Wigglesworth was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, false identification to law enforcement, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, harassment, disorderly conduct, and public drunkenness. She was arraigned and remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $100,000 bail.
