Rioter at Santa Miquel: arrest in Palma's Old Town raises questions

On 17 February, a 46-year-old German woman caused a disturbance in Palma's historical centre. Police found two outstanding arrest warrants against her, leading to further complications.

On the early evening of 17 February, a 46-year-old German national caused a commotion in the historic centre of Palma, specifically the church of Sant Miquel d'Argelaguer of Palma. The woman was heavily intoxicated, harassed passers-by near the Mercat de l’Olivar and later caused a disturbance inside the church of Sant Miquel d'Argelaguer. A patrol intervened and, during the identity check, found that two arrest warrants were outstanding against the woman – one in Palma for a traffic offence, another in Manacor for harassment. Because of her condition, the officers took her to Son Espases hospital; the next morning she was taken to the police station and then brought before the investigating judge. The incident, a typically Mallorcan everyday scene, turned into a more serious matter when the disturbance crossed the usual bounds.
