FLORIDA: Mixed up Operatic? The woman charged with blowing through security check-points at President’s Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort has been identified as an opera singer form Connecticut. Hannah Roemhild, 30, was initially seen dancing erratically on the roof of a car at the nearby Breakers Resort in late January 2020. When police tried to approach her, she led them on a 70-mph chase through the streets of Palm Beach. Authorities report that at some point she picked up a female companion, and the pair crashed through two check-points outside of Trump’s resort. Secret Service agents fired at the SUV before it was stopped by Florida Highway patrol officers. Authorities say Roemhild was “obviously impaired’ during the incident. The President was in Washington during the incident. Terrorism has been ruled out, but she is no fan of Trump
