YOUNG MAN, I AM IN THE PRIME OF MY SENILITY!
Thalia Logas, aged 80, apparently still likes to get behind the wheel of her automobile. Whether that is a wise move is up for debate!
On Wednesday last, Officer Daniel Snyder responded to a traffic accident at U.S. Highway 441 and Huffstetler Drive in Tavares and, when he got there, he found that Logas had 'improperly changed lanes, striking another car.' Snyder tried to issue Logas a citation for the improper lane change but, after she had refused seven times to sign it, he placed her under arrest.
According to an arrest affidavit, when Snyder tried to place the cuffs on Logas, she punched him several times in the chest and stomach. When the handcuffs were eventually in place, the elderly woman wriggled out of them and threw them from the car window.
Logas was taken to the Lake County Jail on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and refusing to sign a traffic citation.
Snyder was unharmed.
As Bette Davis memorably said, old age is no place for sissies!
