Woman [transgender] arrested for threatening judge in Westmoreland County
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | 2/7/2017 | Jonathan D. Silver

A transgender woman who did prison time in connection with her husband’s death after she performed a botched castration surgery at their rural trailer was arrested Monday at the Westmoreland County Courthouse for threatening a judge.

Tammy Felbaum, 58, of Seward had just put her purse on the conveyor belt of the X-ray machine just before 11 a.m. when she said, “I have guns and an Uzi in my purse, also a rocket launcher,” according to a police affidavit.

Then, police said, Felbaum walked through the metal detector “with an attitude” and said, “I am going to shoot a judge today,” according to the affidavit.

After Officer Joshua Fox of the Westmoreland County Park Police confronted her, Felbaum screamed profanities in the courthouse’s front lobby, the affidavit said.

Ms. Felbaum was charged with terroristic threats and a summary count of disorderly conduct. (snip)

In 2008, Felbaum was sentenced to 21 to 60 months in jail for threatening officials associated with her trial.

Felbaum, formerly of Butler County, was convicted in December 2001 of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and unauthorized practice of medicine, all connected with the death of her husband, James.

Born a male named Thomas Wyda, Felbaum performed a self-castration. Police said she performed the same procedure on her husband, who self-medicated with prescription narcotics then choked to death on his own vomit on Feb. 25, 2001.

“Born a male named Thomas Wyda, Felbaum performed a self-castration.”

But that’s not enough to lock you up as crazy in the first place.

On a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen The Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood recently?

A slap on the wrist for homicide. It should be hanged.

Is that a rocket launcher in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Funny, how many have been arrested for threatening a lowly president?

Good to see they have their priorities straight.

If your state won’t allow that to go into the same restroom as your five-year-old daughter, the NFL may not allow your state to host the Super Bowl, the NBA won’t allow your state to host the All Star game, and the NCAA may not allow tournament games to be hosted in your state.

There must've been a lot of strange things that happened in that household before said castrations.
