Transgender woman Chrissy Polis arrested on charges of disorderly conduct

Earlier this year, Chrissy Polis, 23, was attacked in a Baltimore McDonald’s after using the women’s restroom and is now making headlines again for her unrelated Dec. 3 arrest for disorderly conduct.

Police arrested Polis after she “became disorderly and shouted obscenities at a police officer who arrived at her apartment after she called police,” the Washington Blade is reporting. The basis for her call was “to report she had been robbed of her cell phone, purse, and $800 in cash by an unidentified male suspect.”

“She told police the man hit her in the head with an unknown object and stole her purse,” the Baltimore Sun originally reported. “But the officer taking the report said Polis “‘gave several different variations’” of what happened and “became very agitated.”

Polis will go to trial in February on the charges of disorderly conduct and will likely be represented by counsel Mark Scurti, the same attorney who is representing Polis in a possible lawsuit against McDonald’s on the attack earlier this year.

“I’ve reviewed the facts of what happened and the state doesn’t have much of a case,” Scurti said. “But we’re expected to meet with her and at that time we’ll be retained to represent her in the matter…They’re ridiculous charges.”

Scurti reportedly says the police officers who responded to Polis’ call treated the transgender woman “very disrespectfully.”

The Baltimore Sun reports that Polis “was causing a major disturbance in the neighborhood and would not lower his voice even though I was continually advising him to do so,” adding that Polis shouted, “’You don’t know who I am. I will have you fired.’”

In the unrelated attack against Polis at a McDonald’s earlier this year, two teenage women were charged with the crime. Teonna Brown, 19, was charged with first-degree assault. A 14-year-old girl whose name was not released was also charged in the incident and found delinquent.
