WINONA, Minn. — A Winona woman had four scrapes with the law before finally being arrested. In the end Kayla Mae Gile, age 34, was jailed for disorderly conduct. It had been a rough span of 14 hours for Gile, who seemed in continuing transit from place to place downtown. Drugs were suspected. The episodes:

> 10:25 p.m. on Wednesday: Police were called to the homeless warming center at Wesley Methodist Church, 114 West Bradway Street, about a woman causing a disturbance. She was pounding on doors and using slurs, police were told. She was escorted out.

> 6:50 a.m. on Thursday: Police were called to the area of Fourth and Market streets for a woman in the intersection yelling at passersby. Officers advised her to stop.

> 11:45 a.m.: Police were called to the Winona day-time warming center at 265 Lafayette Street to remove a woman walking around naked and causing a disturbance. She was clothed when officers arrived. She left when asked by officers to do so but shouted at them on her way out.

> 1:20 p.m.:  Police arrested Kayla Mae Gile, age 34, for disorderly conduct near Third and Walnut streets. Witnesses told police that Gile took two swings at a man in the street. The man said he wasn’t hit.

It was not all that pleasant a night to be out and about on the streets. Temperatures were only in the mid-30s with drizzle and light snow interspersing.
