Woman arrested after Mar-a-Lago checkpoint pursuit and dog shooting
A woman was arrested after allegedly entering a closed Secret Service checkpoint near Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and leading police on a short pursuit in Palm Beach, Florida. The incident ended with officers removing her from her vehicle, while her pit bull was fatally shot after police said it charged and bit an officer.
Alexa Rae Scharf, 29, is accused of driving towards a Secret Service agent and two police officers, damaging a gate at an oceanfront property and fleeing along South Ocean Boulevard. She faces two aggravated-assault-with-a-vehicle charges, felony fleeing and resisting an officer; police said an initial review found no policy breach in the shooting of the dog.
