Woman Says Man Pulled Gun Over Car Sticker Sticker Shows U.S. Flag Upside Down Posted: 12:02 p.m. CDT June 21, 2002 Updated: 12:20 p.m. CDT June 21, 2002
OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma City woman said another motorist threatened her this week because of a political bumper sticker on her car.
Brianna Herz's car has a sticker with an upside down U.S. flag that shows Sept. 11 with a question mark beside it.
Herz told police that she was driving home earlier this week when a man saw the flag and began chasing her in his truck.
The man started grabbing something beneath his seat and Herz said she got scared.
"So I pick up my cell phone and, of course, the battery is run down," she said. "So, I'm acting like I’m calling 911 and pulls a gun over his left arm with the right hand and points it at me."
The man eventually drove away without firing a shot, Herz said.
Herz said she understands that some people might not like the upside down flag, but said she has the right to express her opinion.
Police are searching for a man in his late 40s to early 50s with a graying beard. He was driving a silver 1999 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, Herz said.
People with information about the case are asked to call Crime Stoppers at (405) 235-7300.
Sounds to me like he was just expressing his opinion too.
I think that this woman is trying to get some publicity for her political message.
LOL! Quote of the week?
How deliciously true!!!
