Dem Senatorâs Wife Charged in Garden Retail Smackdown
heh heh - "donât you know who I am???"WASHINGTON -- The wife of a U.S. senator is in trouble with the law. Wanda Baucus is the wife of Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. She is accused of assaulting a woman Tuesday at Johnsonâs Garden Center on Van Ness Street, Northwest. Mrs. Baucus was released Wednesday afternoon after an appearance in D.C. Superior Court. She was officially charged with assault in court. The incident happened in the parking lot of the garden center. Sources told News4 that Mrs. Baucus was upset because another customer was getting help with mulch ahead of her. Unbelievable! The nerve! Sources told News4âs Pat Collins that Mrs. Baucus dropped a bag of mulch under the womanâs car, then struck the woman in the body and face a number of times. "mulch bitch!" Collins reported that Mrs. Baucus drove from the scene, and returned a while later with her husband. That is when she talked to police about the incident. A warrant for Mrs. Baucus was issued Wednesday and she was booked at the 2nd District police headquarters. From there, she was taken to D.C. Superior Court. The judge released her on her personal recognizance on the condition that she stays away from the victim and away from the garden center. The senator released a statement Wednesday, saying, "There was a situation involving Wanda last night. We are trying to sort it out, going through proper channels. I stand by her 110 percent, and she has my full support." a 110%????? that explains our budget problems.... Posted by: Frank G 2004-04-21 |
