A Connecticut governor hopeful was arrested for trying to bite a judicial marshal at the Stamford Superior Court last Thursday, according to state police.
Lisa Baker-Whitnum allegedly threw a tantrum in the court law library around 3:30 p.m and when library staff asked her to “calm down and follow the rules,” she flew off the handle, police told NBC Connecticut.
A judicial marshal approached her to escort her out, which is when Baker-Whitnum tried to take a bite out of the marshal’s hand. The marshal quickly detained and held her for the state police.
She was arrested her for breach of peace and was released on a $500 bond. She was asked not to return to the library and is set to appear in court on May 20.
Baker-Whitnum was a former Congressional candidate and announced her plans to run for governor in March, according to NBC Connecticut.
