Big Rapids, Mich. (AP) - A woman identified as an anti-war protester hit U.S. Sen. Carl Levin in the face with an apple pie during the Armed Services Committee chairman's meeting with constituents in northern Michigan, authorities said Monday.
The senator took a question near the end of the Monday morning meeting in Big Rapids from a man who said he was a student, Levin's office said in a news release. The man read a long statement, then a woman came up and hit Levin with a pie.
Big Rapids police arrested Ahlam M. Mohsen, 22, of Coldwater on a felony charge of stalking, as well as misdemeanor counts of assault and disorderly conduct. She has no listed telephone number in Coldwater.
Mohsen told the Big Rapids Pioneer she hoped "to send a message that liberals and Democrats are just as implicated in the violence (of war) as the Republicans."
Mohsen was one of three protesters arrested in January 2009 after a sit-in at Levin's office in Lansing, according to Michigan State University's campus newspaper. She told the newspaper then that the group wanted the United States to begin cutting military and other support to Israel and call for an investigation of Israeli war crimes.
The earlier arrest, plus the escalation to a physical assault, formed the basis for the stalking charge, Officer Erik Small told The Associated Press. He said Mohsen was being held without bond and was expected to be arraigned Tuesday.
Police said the man who read the statement before Mohsen hit Levin with the pie and a woman who videotaped the attack also could face charges. Police do not have the videotape, Little said.
Levin appeared to take the pie toss in stride.

He has always been a major part of the problem, not the solution. Need proof? Look at the results!
She is a muzzie.
Hey, Nancy...you should be scared, very scared...it is not the Tea Party activists who are attacking politicians. We recall you saying you were ...oh, so frightened by the grass roots movement members. Guess you figured libs are so much more polite.
I wonder if he’ll say he got a $hitty deal?
You’re right, it is the left that is prone to violence, even against their own, when “their own” aren’t moonbat enough to suit them.
I wonder what they will do when the muslims get back to just shooting the democrat politicians that bother them.
Just like in the old days. Anyone remember Robert Kennedy??
For God’s sake...a PIE was the best she could come up with??!!
Arrested for Assault and Splattery.
Normally, don’t they just throw their sandals?
I love it when “Diversity” blows up in a liberals face.
LOL! When are the peasants going to wake up to the fact that SNEEZING is going to be a felony one of these days - if it's convenient for their Lords & Masters (aka Government "Servants")?
Felony? NO! Assault and battery? Maybe. Unless the pie was good...
Why did she hit Lefty Levin?
