'Raging' Attorney Sentenced for Airport Melee
Former Los Angeles Deputy City Attorney Angela West pleaded no contest Tuesday to exhibiting a deadly weapon and battery on a peace officer, following a Christmas Eve ruckus at San Francisco International Airport, where authorities say they spotted the 50-year-old Harvard Law grad using a metal pole to smash merchandise, food containers and other items at a Peet's kiosk.
The San Francisco Chronicle's Crime Scene blog reports that, when officers at the airport tried to speak to West, she "raged" at them and began swinging the 3-foot pole, which she had taken from a janitor's cart.
The blog reports that a San Mateo County Superior Court judge sentenced West to two years but suspended it, giving her credit for time served.
