Police ID woman accused of throwing shoe at Hillary Clinton

By Tovin Lapan (contact) Tovin Lapan
Published Friday, April 11, 2014 | 10:38 a.m.

Metro Police identified a woman accused of throwing a shoe at Hillary Clinton during a speech in Las Vegas on Thursday as Alison Michelle Ernst and arrested her on a count of disorderly conduct.

Ernst, 36, of Arizona was released Thursday night from the Clark County Detention Center, Metro Police Officer Jose Hernandez said. No bail information was immediately available.

Clinton was a few minutes into her keynote address at the annual convention of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries at Mandalay Bay when Ernst approached the stage and threw a Puma soccer cleat at the former secretary of state, said Brian Spellacy, special agent in charge of the Las Vegas office of the Secret Service.

Clinton ducked the shoe and was unharmed.

It's not that common a name. She's likely in need of some serious medication and maybe this time she'll get it as a "danger to others" since she threw an object at one of the PTB.
