[h=1]Next court date set in UW Crushes case[/h]
[h=5]By JOSHUA ROBERTS / [email protected][/h] Published:LaramieBoomerang EXCERPT:
May 15,2013

A Laramie woman’s appearance Monday morning in Albany County Circuit Court didn’t take place as previously scheduled.
Meg Lanker-Simons, cited for interfering with a peace officer in connection with a social media controversy last month, is next set for a scheduling conference at 8:30 a.m. June 13 in Circuit Court.
Her attorney, Charles Pelkey, entered an appearance on her behalf and a not guilty plea in late April to the misdemeanor charge.
The charge stems from a UW Police investigation into a graphic, sexually-threatening comment posted on the Facebook page, UW Crushes.
Lanker-Simons was allegedly targeted in the comment. However, UW Police allege Lanker-Simons authored the comment.
“Subject admitted to making a controversial post on UW Crushes webpage and then lied about not doing it,” according to the citation.
The interference charge isn’t Lanker-Simons’ first experience with the local court system.
Documents outline radio station incident
According to court records, she was charged in November 2005 in District Court with aggravated assault.
Lanker-Simons, then Meghan Michelena, pleaded guilty to the charge in May 2006 as part of a plea agreement, records indicate.
According to an affidavit, the charge stemmed from an incident in which Lanker-Simons walked into an Albany County radio station she’d been fired from with a Glock 22 .40 caliber handgun.
She confronted a man who had decided to terminate her, the affidavit reports. The man also told her, the court documents state, that she would not be rehired.
Lanker-Simons “pulled a semi-automatic pistol from her purse, waved the firearm around and pointed (the) firearm at (the man),” according to the affidavit.
The man, according to the affidavit, said he was “in fear for his life.”
The radio station, the affidavit states, was evacuated.
Albany County Sheriff’s Office deputies made contact with Lanker-Simons as she was attempting to leave the area in her vehicle and detained her at gunpoint.
During an interview with deputies, Lanker-Simons “admitted to having (a) gun in (her) purse and pulling it out and waving it around (the) victim,” according to the affidavit.
She was sentenced to six years of probation in July 2006.
END EXCERPT
In case you can't remember this winner: She's the one who threatened to rape herself and tried to frame Republicans...
The post was made April 24 to the UW Crushes page on Facebook.
It described Lanker-Simons as “that chick that runs her liberal mouth all the time and doesn’t care who knows it.”
The post also referenced a graphic, sexual act against the woman.
“One night with me and shes gonna be a good Republican (expletive),” the post read.
