CLEVELAND — A woman convicted of assaulting Cleveland Heights police officers appeared in court for sentencing Friday morning, but the sentencing was delayed when the judge said she must change her clothes.
However, Carolyn Fisher refused to change out of her anti-President George W. Bush T-shirt before arriving back in court Friday afternoon, but Judge Timothy McGinty went ahead with the sentencing anyway, NewsChannel5 reported.
Fisher was arrested in January when she was hanging up anti-President George W. Bush posters, which police say is against the law. Officers said the woman attacked them when they ordered her to take down the posters.
