CRAZY LADY ...
GREENVILLE, S.C. —
A 28-year-old Greenville woman has been charged after she assaulted another woman, threw a live snake at her, stole her car and then drove the car through barriers in Downtown Greenville, according to Greenville police.
Hilmary Moreno-Berrios is facing several charges including carjacking.
Police said about 8:20 p.m. Friday, police were called to a carjacking report at Caledon Apartments. The victim told officers that a woman swatted at her with several wooden sticks before throwing a live, black snake at her and stealing her SUV. The victim also told officers the woman struck her in the head with her hand.
At about 8:30 p.m. an officer working on South Main Street in Greenville saw the stolen SUV drive through barriers that were set up for the Liberty Bridge Jump-Off, a pole vaulting exhibition scheduled for Saturday, police said.
Officers said a woman, later identified as Moreno-Berrios, drove onto the sidewalk and back on the roadway near the Main Street Bridge.
Police said she drove through the barriers at the other end of the event site, where an officer tried to perform a traffic stop.
Moreno-Berrios refused to stop, turned onto East Broad Street and a chase began, police said.
They said it ended when the SUV hit an occupied vehicle on Spring Street at East Court Street.
Moreno-Berrios got out of the passenger side of the stolen SUV and ran to a church, according to police.
Police said she tried to get into the church but was stopped by officers. Officers said Moreno-Berrios was extremely combative during her arrest.
Moreno-Berrios was taken to the Greenville County Detention Center but was taken to a medical facility when she complained of arm and shoulder pain, officers said.
Police said since the snake was alive and nonvenomous, it was released into the woods.
