43-Year-Old Woman Facing Charges For Allegedly Throwing Blood On Senate Floor
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A bloody and bizarre attack on state lawmakers on the Senate floor has one woman facing serious charges. State Senator Steve Glazer was one of the lawmakers hit with fluid the California Highway Patrol said appears to be blood. The woman who threw it — 43-year-old Rebecca Dalelio — said it was her own menstrual blood. “One hit me on the head, covered my suit and my desk,” Glazer said. Glazer showed photos of the bloody looking drops that hit him while he was sitting at his desk on the Senate floor. “I have gone through health check-ups to make sure I have not been infected with anything,” he said. Dalelio is facing assault and vandalism charges for the attack that came as lawmakers were voting on the Senate floor.
