Police: Woman, 80, Punches Cop, Throws Handcuffs

TAVARES, Fla. -- An 80-year-old woman went down swinging when a police officer tried to arrest her.
A Tavares police officer pulled the woman over at the intersection of U.S. Highway 441 and Huffstetler Drive for an improper lane change.
Authorities said Thalia Logas refused to sign a ticket and punched the officer in the stomach and chest several times when he tried to place her under arrest.
The officer called for back up and a Lake County Sheriff's deputy arrived.
The two officers said they finally got the handcuffs on her, and she managed to wiggle out of them and threw them out the window of the police car.
"Obviously we want to make sure we handle somebody of that age with care," Jody Maltzman of the Tavares Police Department said.
"If it was my mom, I'd be wanting to have it out with that policeman," Tavares resident Ralph Smith said.
Logas was out of jail on bond Friday morning.

morganic marriages unlikely, but in 1345, constanca died in childbirth and pedro, undisturbed with his mistress, ines, til 1354, and married her, but no documents to prove it. the king, furious about this situation, had ines satbbed to death.
for this, pedro starts war. which he wins in 57. has ines dug up and her body crowned queen(maybe true).

4 When u work, u getz paid. Datz not a gift, itz what u iz owed.5 But if sum d00d duzint work but jus trustz Ceiling Cat, he getz credit for beleevin.6 Liek David says:7 "U getz cheezburgr
if Ceiling Cat forgivz u for doin rong,
if ur Invisible Errorz iz taekn caer of.
8 U getz cheezburgr
if Ceiling Cat desiedz to ingor ur Invisible Errorz."
9 Duz uncircmsiezded peeplz get cheezburgr, or just circumsieded peeplz? We sed dat Ceiling Cat gived Abraham credit for beleevin.10 But when did dat happn?
