Woman accused of threatening to 'shoot' policeman for writing ticket too slowly

One phone call turned a routine traffic stop into anything but routine, according to Cincinnati police.

In court on Monday, prosecutors said that Officer Jeff Bly pulled Theresa Walker over on Rutledge Avenue just before midnight on Saturday.

While Bly was in his cruiser writing a ticket, police said that Walker, 43, became upset with how long it was taking him.



Police said Walker called District 3 headquarters and threatened to shoot Bly if he did not write the ticket faster.

Walker was arrested and charged with aggravated menacing.

In court, her attorney said that Walker told police that she would sue them, not shoot him. She was ordered held on $10,000 bond.
