EAGLE, Colo. -- An Eagle woman accused of chasing a group of Hispanic children with a sword faces a number of charges, including ethnic intimidation, after allegedly calling them "illegal spics," according to police.
Amanda Jane Darling Harris, 21, allegedly chased the children, aged 9 to 15, with an 18-inch samurai sword because they were playing in a parking lot of the Villa apartments, according to a police report.
Police investigated the incident on Sept. 20, and Harris was jailed until she posted a $3,500 bond this week.
According to the police report, the teens said Harris yelled at the children, "If you're scared, then you're guilty." That is when they said she chased them with the sword.
One boy said Harris grabbed him and held the sword to his throat, telling him he "needed to stop causing her problems."
A girl told police that Harris chased and grabbed her and threatened to cut off her ponytail.
Harris chased the other five children through the parking lot, brandishing the sword, according to her arrest affidavit.
The children told police that Harris called them "little f****ing wetbacks" and told them to go back to their own country.
Arresting officers said Harris stated that she should have hurt one of the "illegals" if she knew she was going to go to jail over it.
Harris was arrested in her third-floor apartment on suspicion of menacing -- use of a deadly weapon, and misdemeanor third-degree assault with a weapon, ethnic intimidation and harassment.
Harris is employed by Pooh Corner Preschool in Minturn, Colo., according to the arrest report. A spokeswoman for the preschool said she couldn't comment on Harris' current status.
I thought so.
Wakizashi? Sounds like how Fozzy Bear would describe this lady.
Thanks for the Mifune photo. No one kicked butt with a sword like him!
"I didn't do it."
what kind of idiot thought up that kind of BS charge.
That said this woman has been at the coco puffs once too many
If you really know Eagle-Vail, you also know that there are a whole bunch of illegals camping there, just like Glenwood-Aspen.
LOL Exactly, We need more Gal’s like this defending America Borders.

That's more like a samurai knife.
It's called a short wakizashi or a very long tanto.
Amanda Harris is MUCH better looking than Rep. McKinney.
And probably more mentally stable, too, when you think about it.
McKinney goes off like spontaneous combustion.
Ms. Harris, I believe she was pushed to the edge.
Shes got the whole gangsta mantality look. Like “ YOu talking to me”? Look at them eyes. YOU SO CRAZY GIRL!
Spics? When I was a kid in the 50s, that was reserved for Puerto Ricans. Have the Mexicans invaded Puerto Rico too?
As time goes on and more people become tired of a certain little problem I think we’re going to be hearing more of these types of stories.
Her mug shot is hilarious, though. She’s not so darling.

Based on the title I was wondering what the 'ell Angie Dickinson was doing now! ;^0
Your profile page absolutely rocks! I'm a big fan of Asian films as well. And, because we can't type "Asian films" without including a picture of the master, Kurosawa...
Thank you, I was waiting for those two pics to be side by side!
Ah, the Twinkie defense.
LOL! You're right!
