Woman Charged in Mar-a-Lago Chase Refuses to Appear in Court

Associated Press

   WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA - A Connecticut opera singer charged with
   using an SUV to blast through barricades outside President Donald
   Trump's Florida estate, drawing law enforcement gunfire, refused to
   appear in court Saturday, delaying her initial appearance.

   Palm Beach County Judge Ted Booras said Hannah Roemhild's first hearing
   would be held Monday if she could be brought from the jail to the court
   without endangering herself or deputies, local media reported.

   Roemhild, 30, is charged with two state counts of aggravated assault on
   a law enforcement officer after Friday's wild chase through Palm Beach
   and past the president's Mar-a-Lago club. She was being held at the
   Palm Beach County Jail without bond. Officials have said Roemhild was
   ``obviously impaired'' and they do not believe she targeted the
   president or Mar-a-Lago. He was not present.
