The woman identified the assailant as Twyla Lynnet Saunders and directed officers to Saunders' home on Lipscomb Street, police said.
When officers spoke to Saunders, 33, she said nothing happened and the woman was making it up.
Police said the woman who claimed that Saunders hit another person became upset and Saunders attempted to throw a drink at the woman, instead hitting a Melbourne police officer in the chest and face.
Saunders was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer. While Melbourne police were booking her into jail they said they found a “glass smoking pipe” or a crack pipe in her bra. The pipe tested positive for the presence of cocaine, according to the report.
Saunders was booked into the Brevard County Sheriff's corrections facility.
