Police in Wisconsin Arrest 64-Year-Old Woman for Second Time in Two Days
Police in Shorewood, Wisconsin, said a 64-year-old woman was arrested for the second time in two days on June 7 for allegedly pushing a person protesting at her house over an incident the day before in which she allegedly spat at a black teenager.
The earlier incident occurred when the woman allegedly interrupted an anti-racism protest in Milwaukee with her car and became engaged in an altercation with protesters. Video shows her appear to spit in the direction of a young male.
Police said the woman had been arrested and booked over this incident, but that, “due to the Milwaukee County Jail’s current policies pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to take her to the Milwaukee County Jail.”
On Sunday, protesters chalked anti-racism messages outside the woman’s house. According to the police statement on that day, the suspect slapped the chest of and pushed one of the protesters.
