A woman from Saugerties has
received a prison sentence for attempting to set fire to an NYPD van occupied
by four officers.
The incident took place during
George Floyd protests in Brooklyn back in 2020.
Samantha Shader, 29, pleaded guilty
in April after a witness recorded her lighting a Molotov cocktail and throwing
it at a marked police van.
The incendiary device did not break
or ignite, and none of the officers were injured.
A co-defendant, Timothy Amerman, is
also awaiting sentencing.
