So why did the police charge her?

Because the police will charge anyone: they're rewarded for making arrests, any arrest, justified or not.

I just watched a video of some kids cleaning up trash in a city park. They discovered a pistol and called the cops. The cops show up, they show them the pistol in the mud, and the cops start hemming them in demanding to know their names and asking what they were doing, even though they told the dispatcher, they've got gloves on, are dirty, and have bags full of trash. Guess the cops hadn't passed their detective exams.
