Re: Policing Freehold
"Disturbing the peace is a crime generally defined as the unsettling of proper order in a public space through one's actions. This can include creating loud noise by fighting or challenging to fight, disturbing others by loud and unreasonable noise (including loud music or dog barking), or using offensive words or insults likely to incite violence." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disturbing_the_peace)
From what you have posted officer, she was not disturbing the peace. She firstly was not loud, screaming at the top of her lungs. She was not trying to incite violence, as she more then likely would not want to fight the janitor. As for unsettling of proper behavior, she is guaranteed the right to speak in a public place, the KKK do it all the time spouting off nigger every chance they get. So you sir did not have grounds to charge her with disturbing the peace.
Resisting arrest, I wasn't there and there's no way for me to obtain any video surveillance (if any). From what you said
She was speaking to you, not shoving you or making any threatening gestures (such as a fist). So pushing her against a wall for being delusional, then cuffing her is not resisting arrest. Again you were wrong to do that.
As for destruction of public property, destruction means that it is in disrepair (say it would not be able to be used) or Graffiti (Meaning willful vandalism of property) Assuming she wasn't thinking "I'll she this cop! I'll track mud in!" This was also not destruction of property. What town / state did this occur in anyway?

She was clearly out of control and delusional, so I had to push her against the wall, pull her arms behind her back, cuff her, and take her into the station to cool off.
