Woman arrested over A$AP Rocky protest at Swedish Embassy
Secret Service officers arrested Rebecca Kanter, 26, at the Swedish Embassy in Washington on Tuesday after she allegedly made threats, engaged in a foul-mouthed rant and damaged property as part of an apparent protest against the Scandinavian nation’s treatment of Rocky, according to court records. After arriving at the embassy ‐ known as the House of Sweden ‐ Kanter "began cursing and screaming at embassy personnel and a student group tour, making statements about an American rapper, A$AP Rocky, who is detained in Sweden," Secret Service Officer William Ayers wrote in a criminal complaint. "Kanter then walked toward a teepee display in the House of Sweden, kicked a teepee, and proceeded to kick over a coffee table in the lobby. ... Embassy staff ordered Kanter to leave the premises of the House of Sweden but Kanter refused and instead sat down on the floor of the Embassy and stated, ’Call the police. I am not leaving.’" A day earlier, Kanter allegedly visited the same embassy, threw liquid at it from a Coca-Cola bottle and shouted, "I’m going to blow this motherf----- up," the complaint says. Authorities say Kanter posted messages on social media accounts about her actions, asking in one posting: "Why aren’t I getting press for ASAP?" Posted by: Besoeker 2019-07-26 |
