Federal authorities this weekend filed a federal complaint against Alison Michelle Ernst, the woman who threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton during a speech, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Ernst was charged with trespassing and violence against a person in a restricted building, both of which are misdemeanors, according to the complaint filed by the U.S. Secret Service.

She was charged by the Las Vegas police on Friday for a misdemeanor and later released from jail.

According to the complaint filed by the Secret Service agent Edward Autelli, Ernst threw a soccer shoe and papers at Clinton in a restricted area. Ernst did not have a ticket for the area, but managed to get through anyway.

Autelli said that agents could not stop Ernst before she threw the shoe, which nearly hit Clinton’s head.

  1. Do we know why she did it yet? Or is she just loony tunes? Even though if she had a reason it’s still a crazy thing to do.

    …how long until Tucker or Rush offers to pay for pitching lessons for Ernst?

  3. It’s a conspiracy to make the “Hillary had it all set up” meme even more toxic… Not only did she set it up, but she had the poor lady charged with a federal crime!!

  4. Annie, according to the National Journal, the woman is a conspiracy theorist wallowing in the whole New World Order thing.

    She’s been obsessed with the Aurora theatre shooter, James Holmes, going so far as to file a motion claiming she had evidence for his exoneration. (His mind had been taken over.)

    The story is here. My guess is that Hillary, speaking at a convention for trash and recycling people, apparently represented another NWO threat. Or something.
