Tells Lantana Cop She’ll “Kick Your Ass,” Now Charged With Making Terroristic Threat.
LANTANA, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Lantana woman with a tattoo of the name “Brendon” allegedly battered someone named “Darrell” and is being held on a charge of making terroristic threats — although we’re not sure why.
Summer Waugh, 18, remains in the Palm Beach County Jail Thursday morning following her Wednesday arrest by Lantana Police. The incident report, obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, does a much better job of explaining what happened than anything we could rewrite, so we’re publishing it as we received it, with just a few redactions:
“On 07/29/2026 at approximately 2318 hours, I was dispatched to (the unit block) of N 11th Street, Lantana, FL 33462, in response to a domestic disturbance. Dispatch advised that W/F Summer Lynn Waugh called stating she had battered someone. Upon arrival, I witnessed Summer being detained by Sergeant Diaz and Officer Briggs; she was on the ground in handcuffs, crying and screaming.
Summer was placed in the back of a patrol car by the two officers. Upon questioning, W/M Darrell Len McNew provided a sworn statement that Summer had battered him by slapping him once and punching him three times afterwards, all in the face. Darrell also had no visible injury to his face, denied medical attention, denied photographic evidence being taken, and denied his Marcy’s Law rights; however, he did sign a non-prosecution for for the battery.
After the arrest, Officer Briggs stated that Summer attempted to kick him when she was detained, and Sergeant Diaz also stated that Summer told her that she would “kick her ass” as she was being escorted to the patrol car, which I witnessed as well. This incident is marked closed by an arrest and captured on my agency-issued Axon body-worn camera.”

There is no explanation as to why Summer Waugh is charged with making a terroristic threat. We have never seen a claim that someone will “kick your ass” as rising to the level of terrorism or even a generic “threat to kill,” but Waugh is charged with that as well as “assault on a law enforcement officer” and “resist with violence.” She is being held on $3,000 bond as of early Thursday morning.
