I didn't think she was in jail for the improper lane change. Why was she in jail? What was the charge holding her there? Couldn't anyone post bail?
By the way, I know one reason she may have be acting stupidly: Pot. That is a reality I don't have to worry about.
She was charged with assaulting a police officer.
The officer alleged that during the scuffle that occurred off camera that she kicked him or somehow otherwise struck him, and my understanding is that he did not receive any sort of serious injury from that.
However, assault is a fairly easy threshold to cross. One does not have to receive serious injury to constitute assault. It is basically any unwanted touching.
So she was jailed for a fairly serious charge against an officer, not for any of her traffic violations or even any resisting of arrest.
As far as bail goes, all I know is no one came for her before she killed herself. I think, and I am not sure, that the amount of cash that was needed for her release was 500$, so that’s not too high, but not everyone has 500$ laying around to spring someone.
