A Texas state Capitol employee who police said wanted to go in the building Friday before a rally by presidential candidate Barack Obama threw a bowl of egg salad at a U.S. Secret Service agent who denied her access, according to an arrest affidavit.
Tracy Firsching, 47, is charged with assault on a peace officer, a third-degree felony for which she faces up to 10 years in prison.
According to the affidavit, Firsching started to go around police barriers when she was stopped by Secret Service agent Brian Sanders, who told her that she could not go in the secured area without an escort.
The affidavit said Firsching told Sanders that, “You’re going to have to arrest me” and attempted to go past him. Sanders grabbed her by the arm to turn her around when she threw a plastic bowl of egg salad at him and struck him in the face with the bowl, the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, Sanders received a scratch that was “red and visible from several feet away” during the incident.
The yolk’s on them ova there! It was quite the coop!
Now I’m gonna have to come up with some scratch to hire a layer to represent me...
Thanks for the ping!
Hmmm, the entire concept of assaulting (or, for that matter, peppering or paprikaing) a Secret Service Agent is one I would prefer to Ovoid.
Just as a comic aside, what would these guys do if the President’s at a fund-raiser, and a food fight breaks out? Would they take a guacamole for the President?
Yes, and all the other agents would be greenless with envy.
I would say in this case, the yolk is on her.
I like consistency. I want law enforcement officers who assault citizens to go to jail. And I want citizens who assault law enforcement officers to face the same fate.
I can only imagine what goes through a law enforcement officer's mind in the split second he or she has to decide if the projectile being thrown is something that may kill them.
The affidavit said Firsching told Sanders that, “You’re going to have to arrest me”
Okie dokie. Idiots with an overblown sense of entitlement won't win any of my sympathy any time soon.
I can’t believe she got that upset ovum this. She probably just needed to get laid. No matter what her defense attorney hatches, he will wind up getting shelled in court.
“Maybe the SS officer egged her on?”
Personal foul. Unnecessary laughter.
One Question yet be-devils the matter: would egg salad buyback programs in the inner cities stop hardboiled criminals?"
LOL!
That was very clever!
10 years? Yolk! Eggscuse meeee!
LOL
