Article here. Excerpt:
'Authorities have charged a Florida author of feminist literature with battery after she threw her drink at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a wine festival over the weekend.
Selena J. Chambers, of Tallahassee, was jailed Saturday evening over the incident at the South Walton Beaches Wine and Food Festival. She was slapped with one count of battery on an elected official and one count of simple battery, according to an arrest report from the Walton County Sheriff’s Office.
The 41-year-old Chambers, a Pushcart Prize-nominated writer of feminist horror stories, reportedly cursed out Gaetz and his wife before tossing her drink at the congressman. She then turned and walked away, flipping off the Florida representative.
A witness who was standing next to Gaetz told police that Chambers had been swearing loudly and was also struck with her drink after she threw it.'
