ST. PAUL, Minn. – Charges have been filed against a woman who pointed a fake gun at a Minnesota State Patrol trooper Saturday night.
The incident caused traffic to be shut down on Interstate 94. It started when the trooper saw a driver leave a parking lot and turn the wrong way on a one-way street. That same driver corrected her direction but drove erratically until she entered a closed construction zone.
When she finally stopped, he got out of her car and walked toward the trooper, pointing what looked like a handgun at the trooper. She then got back in the car and drove away. The woman in her 70s was finally taken into custody. Her name hasn’t been released.
