A woman was taken into custody for allegedly spitting on Ed Martin, the troubled ex-interim U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C., as he was giving an interview earlier this month.

Emily Gabriella Sommer, aged 32, faces a charge of assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a government official, as outlined in an affidavit published on Thursday. This charge was revealed during Sommer’s court appearance, during which U.S. Marshals had to escort her out due to her becoming “agitated,” reported by local WUSA journalist Jordan Fischer.

The confrontation between Sommer and Martin occurred on May 8 at about 3:30 p.m. in front of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., according to the court documents. While a Newsmax reporter was interviewing Martin, Sommer is said to have approached him and made a comment along the lines of, “Who in the f— are you?”

When Martin, 55, turned toward Sommer, she allegedly said, “Are you Ed Martin? You are. Ed Martin,” and then lunged at him and spit on his left shoulder.

Sommer proceeded to walk away, yelling, “You are a disgusting man. F— you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served,” the affidavit states.

Investigators searched law enforcement databases for her name and found a previous booking photo that was consistent with photos from the incident with Martin. They also found an X account with the username “@EmilyGabriellaS” that had made several identical posts about the confrontation, replying to posts from Martin and saying: “ED, that was me that spit in your face today” and calling the action a “pleasure.”
