Syracuse radio station WFBL reports that Lauren Maggi, 35, of Thurber Street was charged with harassment for spitting in a soldier's face at Hancock Airport.
The incident happened over the Thanksgiving holiday. Maggi approached a soldier from the 10th Mountain Division, who apparently was not in uniform, and asked if he was a soldier. When he said yes, Maggi allegedly spit in his face.
WFBL's news service is supplied by television station WTVH, which has nothing posted yet about the incident on its website. Syracuse.com carries this blurb:
• Woman accused of spitting on soldier A Syracuse woman was charged after a Fort Drum soldier accused her of spitting on him without provocation at Hancock Airport, Syracuse police said.
On January 18 of this year, Lauren Maggi, 34, of Thurber Street, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Someone tell me again about how the Left supports the troops, but not their mission.
Update: More details:
Jason Jones, 21, told police a woman he did not know walked up to him near the United Airlines ticket counter, asked him if he was a Fort Drum solider and, when he responded that he was, spat in his face.
Police searched the airport garage and located a woman fitting the description that Jones provided, who was later identified as Maggi. Police escorted her into the terminal, where Jones identified her as the woman who had spit on him. A second soldier on the scene supported Jones' accusation, police said.
Maggi offered no explanation for her conduct, police said. She could not be reached for comment Thursday night.
1. The proper charge is "assault with bodily fluids." In this day and age of AIDS, it could amount to attempted murder under some conditions.
2. They haven't graduated to throwing bags full of urine and feces at the troops. That was my welcome home.
Series question - can she be arrested for assault?
Hmmmmm....
I wonder who she voted for in 2004.
And she still has her teeth?
This must be the first time because we were told by the old stream media it NEVER happened in the 60's and 70's.
If anything like this happens in my presence, I will probably end up arrested.
If I had been there to witness it I would be in jail for assault too.
she is damn lucky I was not there to see it....I would have been the one in jail, as I would have kicked her a$$ (mama always taught me not to hit a woman, and under ordinary circumstances I would not, but this b*tch needs to be slapped good)
IF I was there I would have knocked that B*tch out. File domestic violence charges against me. Stuff like this makes my blood boil with an unhealthy amount of anger.
She may be a campaign worker for either Murtha or Pelosi. Sounds like their type of nut case.
The ACLU will probably defend her !
In most states, yes. "Assault by bodily fluids" is a fairly recent development, but our friend, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, makes it necessary.
Especially given the "lifestyles" of these leftists. I'm sorry you had to experience that when you came home. I wouldn't say that kind of "greeting" was common, but I know it happened quite a lot, especially in California.
She could but she was charged with harassment instead. I don't know why the was the charge instead of assault.
The soldier is too nice to do that but I'M NOT!
It has always angered me to hear about that type of thing. How you guys could restrain yourselves is beyond me.
