Woman, 79, charged with attacking police with cane
I'm probably breaching copyright, I don't know, but this CNN article is so hilarious! And what is the meaning of the mysterious last sentence? How come the police went to investigate and then was already handcuffing? Apparently, Ms. Chambers is very well taken care of by Mr. Holleman, otherwise how would she knock down a police officer? Is this "the world from a global perspective"? Some common sense and a more realistic notion of responsibility wanted...
"St. Joseph County prosecutors said the officers came to investigate a possible domestic abuse charge against Betty Chambers' live-in caretaker, Thomas Holleman, 57.
As the officers tried to handcuff Holleman, Chambers allegedly struck Officer Lonny Foresman over the head with her cane, prosecutors said.
Foresman suffered a mild concussion while Sgt. John Pavlekovich suffered a separated shoulder and hand injury, said Jaimee Thirion, a spokeswoman for St. Joseph County police.
Prosecutors charged Chambers and Holleman on Tuesday with resisting law enforcement and battery.
"This is a serious concern because police are there to protect all of us," said St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak.
A phone number listed under Chambers' name at her address had been disconnected."
