MARION COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — A handcuffed woman on her way to jail in a patrol car allegedly managed to retrieve a hidden gun from her waist and opened fire on the deputy who arrested her.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) said that on Monday at 10 a.m. Rheanna Harden was arrested on multiple charges after a traffic stop.
According to MCSO, Haren was handcuffed and searched before she was put in the backseat of a deputy's patrol car to take her to jail.
Officials said that while on their way to jail, traveling on S highway near the 2900 block, Harden, who was still handcuffed, managed to retrieve a concealed firearm from her pants and opened fire at the deputy's head.
The patrol vehicle then crashed into a utility pole, and the deputy got out of the vehicle, returned fire, and sought cover, per MCSO.
The deputy suffered a graze wound near his right eye, while Harden sustained injuries to her shoulder and hip.
Harden, who has a lengthy criminal history, was initially accused of Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Providing False Identification to Law Enforcement, and Knowingly Driving While License Suspended after the traffic stop.
However, she now faces additional charges and is being held at the Marion County Jail without bond.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
"...she now faces additional charges"
You don't say.
Is that a meth face?
I doubt the motivator was to free herself just to be free. She did it because she knew she’d have to detox off the meth. Under all that addiction could be a former high school cheerleader... sad chit.
“Her waist” ...
“Her pants” ...
‘cause nobody wants to say where she really had that pistol hidden ...
.....Harden, who was still handcuffed, managed to retrieve a concealed firearm from her pants and opened fire at the deputy’s head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Impressive if she was handcuffed with her hands behind her back....
“Harden, who has a lengthy criminal history”.......lock her up .....30 yrs might do the trick.
Frisking 101 fail
Nah....she’s been down this road many times. ...and she’ll continue to hook up with her drugs while in prison.
Yeah. You’re right. Unfortunately.
My friend found himself in the uncomfortable position of being arrested and while handcuffed to the check-in bench at the Conroe, Tx(?) I think, police station, he was wondering how to tell them that he still had a pistol on him.
One look at the sores on her face would cause me to be less than rigorous in frisking her.
Charming.
Shes a woman, I bet they didnt cuff her with arms behind her back. Never underestimate women. Never. Equal treatment and more, because they are master manipulators and liars.
♫ Rheanna rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
the officers should all carry hand held metal detectors in their vehicles for checking female prisoners.
Trashy skank should be locked up for a minimum of 10 years with no consideration for parole.
> Frisking 101 fail<
Frisking 101 by the book. Male cop/ female perp, can only touch certain areas.
It’s time we stop pussyfooting around. There is no consideration for safety, sexual identity, gay cop lesbian cop, tranny perp, etc.
EC
Why isn’t she dead?
They didn’t frisk her before they put her in the car?? That’s supposed to be the first thing you do...thoroughly search the perp.
They carry latex gloves for that.
