53-year-old Julie Edwards, who yelled racial slurs at a police officer who arrested her on suspected drunk driving
A white woman in Florida last week allegedly told a black police officer that the KKK would visit his house and burn crosses on his lawn after he confronted her on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Local news station WFTV reports that police officers last week were asked to respond to a late-night disturbance around South Montgomery Street in Deland, Florida.
When they arrived on the scene, they found a 53-year-old woman named Julie Edwards driving her car in reverse. Upon approaching the car, the officers detected a strong odor of alcohol.
Edwards refused to submit to a breath test, at which point the officers handcuffed her. She then flopped to the ground and refused to get back up when the officers commanded her to stand.

(146,325 posts)So, she's going to send the KKK to a cop's house? I don't think they'll go. They don't like people who can defend themselves.
I hope she slept it off at the jail OK.
