Re: A women threatening to spread her virus

Update:

 

Police in Texas have arrested a teenager who allegedly claimed she had contracted coronavirus and planned to infect others

.

Lorraine Maradiaga, 18, is accused of making terroristic threats for content she posted on Snapchat.

 

According to the Carrollton Police Department, she faces a third-degree felony charge.

 

Officials allege the 18-year-old said on social media that she tested positive for COVID-19 and is “willfully spreading it.”

 

Police said they “currently have no proof” the suspect tested positive.

Maradiaga was arraigned and her bond was set at $20,000 before she was transferred to the Denton County Jail.

 

She is ordered to quarantine for 21 days upon release from custody as a precaution, police said.

@Laura14, I think that would not only unconstitutional but also extremely dangerous to the staff and inmates who might not have protective gear.

@suzyQ3 If they think she is going to quarantine herself, she has a bridge to offer them as bail collateral at her trial.  She's already been to jail and they have had contact.  Throw away the key for three weeks and let her think about what she pulled.
