No, assault charges were not filed against the woman who threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton this week in Las Vegas. In fact, she was released today.
Alison Michelle Ernst, 36, who was booked at the Clark County Jail, has been freed after receiving a misdemeanor disorderly conduct summons.
Ernst could face up to a year in the county lockup if she is convicted of violating a county ordinance during the Thursday incident at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.
She is accused of bypassing security and walking quickly toward a rope line about six rows from the front of a conference audience. Police say she reached into a purse, removed the shoe and threw it overhand toward the stage…
Authorities said Ernst wasn’t a credentialed conference attendee and wasn’t supposed to have been in the ballroom, which had more than 1,000 people.
