It was for failure to identify. She had no ID with her.
SCOTUS already ruled in case that joggers are not required to carry ID.
There is no law that requires you to have to have ID on you at all times. Everywhere states have periods of time for you to get your ID and present it, within a certain time period. Where I live its 24 hours, so you can go home and get it, if necessary.
She still has to give police her information if they need it to fill out the summons...if she refuses...she owns the consequenses...still failure to identify
Yes, I stand corrected. I was thinking of what she was stopped for rather than cited for. My bad.
There is no law that requires you to have to have ID on you at all times.

Agree. But she was asked her name and she refused to comply until she was put
in the police car. At that time she gave her name.
