A convict who skipped a hearing and called law enforcement officials stupid in a letter to a judge was arrested Wednesday.

Andrea Scott, 35, taunted police and judges in her letter and vowed to leave town, but officials say she didn't quite make it. She was carrying a bag of clothing when she was arrested by grand jury investigators Tom Trathen and Bob Simms at the Carlton Apartments on the Northwestside. Scott failed to show up at a pretrial hearing Tuesday.

It's one thing to dislike the police but the thing that stuck in my throat about this dame was her total contempt for her victim.

I hope they throw the book at her.

"We're reunited, and it feels so good," Marion County Prosecutor Scott Newman sang to the tune of the 1979 Peaches and Herb hit.

LOL !!!

Newman wrote Scott a letter of his own. It was delivered to her as she was booked.
It read:
"Dear Andrea,
Scott Newman says, 'Hey.'
Sincerely yours, Scott Newman."

LOL even louder!!

Ah, the joys of living in Indianapolis--and to think they call my city Naptown.

I worked on Scott's campaign to get him elected. And trust me, the letter tells me he is out to do this gal.

I agree. She should have made sure that she was a Democrat president before she flipped the prosecutors off. ;-)

I've met some people like that. Evil is just too light a word for that kind of behavior.
