Woman Arrested for Using Slingshot and Blowgun

On Wednesday a 41 year old woman named Paula Wolf was arrested for shooting pedestrians with darts and rocks with a blowgun and slingshot. Wolf used her van to wander around in streets and whenever she’d find someone walking on the sidewalk she would take out her blowgun and shoot the person. She also used a slingshot to throw rocks at windows of shops or houses. She tried to break the window of a squad car, but failed because the glass of the window of police cars is made of high density.

One man told police that he was walking down the street when he felt a dart in his chest. A woman reported the same thing. Another man reported that he was hit in the back with the dart. A woman told police that she was standing in the street smoking when she was hit by the dart, but it didn’t puncture her skin because she was wearing a lot of clothes.
