Authorities in Florida have charged a woman with several offenses after she allegedly assaulted a 72-year-old man who was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat earlier this week.

Laura Garrett, age 33, was detained by the Largo Police Department on Tuesday. She faces charges for battery on someone over the age of 65, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting or obstructing an officer without using violence, as per records from Pinellas County Jail.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 13 Tampa Bay, Garrett acknowledged that she had approached the man, whose identity remains undisclosed, at Northeast Park and Paw Place to question him about President Donald Trump and his support for him.

The arrest report states that Garrett intentionally dropped to the ground when officers put her in handcuffs and that when an officer tried to escort her to the front of the park, she wrapped both of her legs around him and caused him to fall.

The officer’s knee was bruised during the incident, which is what prompted the second battery charge.

Police said she continued to kick and pull away from arresting officers.

Garrett was booked into the Pinellas County Jail Tuesday evening, but was released Wednesday night, jail records show.
