A Nesquehoning woman was cited for obstructing the law during a search warrant execution.

According to Nesquehoning police, on Feb. 9, police went to an apartment complex occupied by Shana Ramos, 51, of the unit block of East Catawissa Street, to execute a search warrant.

The search warrant was for various code violations in Ramos’ apartment.

When police knocked on the door and identified themselves, Ramos began yelling and refused to left officers inside. She also said she was getting her phone to record the event.

Ramos then said officers better not come in because she was naked and began arguing with them through the door.

The building manager was called and as the door to Ramos’ apartment was being unlocked, Ramos pushed it shut and bolted it to prevent police from entering.

After a short while, police were able to get into the apartment and found Ramos inside. The warrant was executed and code violations were documented.

Ramos was also cited for the following code violations: failing to maintain the apartment; means of egress; disposal of garbage; and putting furniture in a common hallway.
