Woman Arrested After Allegedly Threatening Cop With Fake Gun

WATERTOWN, S.D. (AP) — A Nebraska woman faces multiple charges after allegedly pulling a fake handgun on a police officer following a car crash in the South Dakota city of Watertown.

Authorities say 39-year-old Jennifer Wunderlich, of Omaha, Nebraska, hit a stopped car from behind at an intersection late Thursday, and was combative with the officer who responded to the crash.

Wunderlich allegedly pulled the fake gun on the officer, and the officer subdued her with a stun gun and arrested her. She faces several charges including drunken driving, aggravated assault on an officer and vehicular battery. It wasn’t immediately clear if she had an attorney.

Police say the man in the vehicle that was struck was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
