FOX: Sara Jane Moore, who served 32 years in prison for attempting to assassinate former President Gerald Ford in 1975, has been arrested for violating the conditions of her lifetime parole, Fox News has learned.
Moore, 89, was taken in by federal authorities on Saturday at JFK airport after traveling to Israel in January without informing her parole officer, an official said.
According to a federal law enforcement source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, Moore allegedly became ill in Israel and stayed longer than anticipated. She was re-arrested in New York on a flight arriving from Spain and was slated to appear before a judge. She’s also expected to meet with a parole commission in the coming week, the official said.
The Bureau of Prisons website has her listed as register number 04851-180 and located at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Moore, who pleaded guilty to the Ford plot, was released from her lengthy sentence on Dec. 31, 2007. She had been in federal prison for women in Dublin, Calif. Her parole was grandfathered into federal laws that have since been made more stringent.
When she shot at Ford in San Francisco on Sept. 22, 1975, Moore became infamous as one of only two women to have attempted to kill a sitting American president. Moore’s attempt came just 17 days after Lynnette “Squeaky” Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, attempted to kill the president.
In her attempt, Moore fired and missed at Ford from across the street from the St. Francis Hotel, where the president had just left. Her aim was disrupted by a former Marine, Oliver Sipple, who was later credited with potentially saving Ford’s life. more Here
She seems nice. LOL.
Them’s the rules, crazylady.
Still less crazy than AOC.
Doesn’t it cost money to travel to Israel? Gee, its out of my budget. 32 years in jail and she can afford this trip?
OK.
How much has she cost us – total?
Is she worth it?
Are we a better country for it?
izlamo delenda est …
Well paint me green and call me a pickle, bitch thinks she is above the law. Who would have ever thought…
So, what was she in Israel for? She looks like a harmless old lady, so I don’t want to assume she was there to be a useful idiot for the Pallies. Hopefully, she was there on a pilgrimage or tour.
“stayed longer than anticipated”
So she did tell them before she went there?
Israel let in an attempted presidential assassin? I know people who were all but strip searched at the airport over some fairly trivial discrepancies in their conversations with the El Al “screeners.”
89 years old? And still flying all over the world? Must be all that LSD she used back in the day. As to how she could afford it, she is probably employed by some left-wing think tank or the DNC. It would be fun to find out.
