BURLINGTON, Conn. (CBS Connecticut) – A court date Friday for a Harwinton woman accused of trying to hit a police officer with her car Thursday in Burlington.
State police say 58-year-old Eileen Pierce tried to hit an officer directing traffic at a tree-trimming site on Route 69– allegedly driving her Subaru wagon directly at him, yelling out the window, and shaking her fist. The officer quickly got out of the way, and police say Pierce narrowly missed hitting a tree crew.
When Pierce was pulled over at the Burlington-Bristol line, troopers say she rambled for several minutes, saying she was upset with police and that officers are being murdered because they tend to abuse people’s rights — noting she was angry that Donald Trump is president.
Pierce was arrested on charges of second-degree attempted assault with a motor vehicle, first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and failure to drive in the proper lane in a construction zone.
She was held overnight on $5,000 surety bond for arraignment in Bristol Superior Court.

How can a person get so stupid in 58 years? You've never met my siblings. They're only two degrees to the right of this woman.
Yes, they're all California libs.

Awful headline writing. Worse than most communist drivel.

Umm, where is the charge for attempted murder of a police officer?

Awful headline writing. Worse than most communist drivel.Headlines like this are carefully written to put the word Trump next to the offense. It happens often.
