Looking dazed and confused, and complaining about the shackles on her legs, Heidi Gill needed to be helped to the bench in County Court on Wednesday morning.  She was arrested around three o'clock after reportedly getting into a drunken scuffle at the Denny's in Austintown just minutes after pulling into the parking lot.

Eighteen year old Brittny Bullen and her friends were finishing their breakfast when Gill walked up.  Bullen says Gill "just freaked out," saying "I'm gonna slap someone," and then allegedly hit Bullen in the face and started pulling her hair.

Brittny's friends say they immediately jumped in to end what they all say was an unprovoked attack.

When police arrived, they found Gill sitting on a chair, nearly falling over several times, and still holding a clump of Bullen's hair in her hand.

Police say Gill eventually admitted having been at O'Donald's Bar in the Austintown Plaza before going to Denny's.  Officers impounded her late-model Buick Rendezvous.  We're told she was so drunk she had trouble standing on her own.  A police photo shows the arm of one of the officers who had to hold her up for a mug shot.  Pictures of Gill were seen all around the country after Gill's highly publicized arrest in Warren last September when she was tasered more than half a dozen times.  The charges filed that night were eventually dismissed and the officer wound-up being disciplined.

In court Wednesday morning, Gill seemed more concerned about her new-found publicity, overheard saying "I just don't know why they're [the media] here," than the assault and disorderly conduct charges which could land her in jail for up to six months if she's convicted.

Interestingly enough, despite all her previous notoriety, Bullen says she didn't recognize Gill at the time, neither did her friends.  In fact they were a little curious why we were so interested in this story, until we told them who Heidi Gill was.

Gill, who gave police an address in Boardman, remains in the county jail on a four thousand dollar bond and is due back in court again early next month.
