A Las Vegas woman was arrested at the Greene County Courthouse Tuesday morning on disorderly conduct and other charges.
Around 9:15 am, several deputies joined courthouse security at the courthouse due to threats being made by 40-year-old Fatima Mitchell to DCS workers and the courthouse.
According to the Greene County Sheriff’s Department report, Mitchell, of Victor Hugo Lane in Las Vegas, had made threats to a DCS worker on September 26. She then continued to make threats due to not getting any response back.
Mitchell reportedly showed up for her court date Tuesday and refused to comply with courthouse regulations by leaving her purse in her vehicle. She continuously refused and caused a scene at the courthouse security entrance.
Mitchell was charged with disorderly conduct, harassment, and retaliation for past action – bodily harm/no weapon.
NOT HER FIRST BRUSH WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
Three years ago, Mitchell was sentenced to probation after trying to kill two female high school students by driving her vehicle into them to prevent them from fighting her daughter after an on-campus dispute at a Las Vegas-area high school.
Mitchell “went searching for the juveniles that were fighting with her daughter,” Henderson police said in an arrest report. It alleged that Mitchell “accelerated her Chevrolet Tahoe towards the juveniles in an attempt to run them over and ‘take them out,’ which showed her intent to kill.”
The injured girls were treated at an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
At the time, police said the girls were “only spared from serious injury or death due to the fact that Mitchell stuck a tree and concrete sign prior to hitting them.” But even then, a witness to the incident told police Mitchell backed her vehicle up in an apparent attempt to strike them again before school police arrived.
