DENVER — A 20-year-old woman accused of hurling a fire bomb at Denver police officers during a protest last week faces two counts of attempted murder and other charges, prosecutors said Thursday.

Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey formally charged Amelia Nicol with the attempted murder counts along with two counts of assault and single counts of use of explosives, possession of explosives, arson, inciting a riot, resisting arrest and criminal mischief.

The charges state that on the night of May 6 Nicol threw an incendiary or explosive device at officers in a marked patrol car. The device exploded and burned, damaging the patrol car. The two officers in the car were not injured.

The charges also allege that Nicol fled the scene and as she was being taken into custody a short time later she spit on officers and resisted arrest, said district attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough.

The incident occurred at 11th Avenue and Kalamath Street during a march by people protesting law enforcement brutality cases in the Denver metro area.

“March against police terror!” said an announcement for the protest on the Facebook page of a group called Denver Black Anarchist Cross.

“The police are at war with the people. It’s time for the people to be at war with the police,” the release said.

The Facebook page showed a cartoon of a woman atop an oil drum surrounded by flames kicking a police officer in the chin, knocking his riot helmet off.

Nicol remained in Denver Jail Thursday. Her bond was set at $50,000.

Nicol was initially booked as Jane Doe, because she refused to provide her name, Kimbrough said.

Amelia has a courtdate set for Monday morning at 9:30am in Court Room 2100 in the Denver County Courthouse, 490 West Colfax

Denver – Compagna accusata di tentato omicidio e altre accuse durante un corteo antirepressivo

Una ventenne è accusata di aver lanciato una bomba contro agenti della polizia di Denver durante una protesta della settimana scorsa, ora affronta due accuse di tentato omicidio e altro ancora, ha affermato giovedì l’accusa.

Il procuratore del distretto di Denver Mitch Morrissey ha accusato formalmente Amelia Nicol con le accuse di tentato omicidio, assalto e uso di esplosivi, possesso di esplosivo, incendio, istigazione alla rivolta, resistenza all’arresto e danni criminali.

Le accuse affermano che nella notte del 6 maggio Nicol ha lanciato un ordigno incendiario o esplosivo contro degli agenti in una volante. L’ordigno è esploso e nel bruciare ha danneggiato la vettura. I due agenti non sono rimasti feriti. Le accuse inoltre dichiarano che Nicol ha lasciato la zona e che mentre veniva presa in custodia poco tempo dopo avrebbe sputato agli agenti e opposto resistenza all’arresto, ha detto la portavoce del procuratore distrettuale Lynn Kimbrough.

L’incidente è avvenuto tra la 11th Avenue e Kalamath Street durante un corteo contro i casi di brutalità poliziesca nella zona di Denver.

“Corteo contro il terrore poliziesco!” diceva l’appello al corteo sulla pagina facebook della Croce Nera Anarchica di Denver.

“La polizia è in guerra con la gente. E’ ora che la gente entri in guerra con la polizia”, diceva il comunicato.

Nicol è rimasta nella prigione di Denver. La sua cauzione è stata fissata a 50000 dollari.

Nicol in un primo momento non era stata identificata perché si rifiutava di dire il proprio nome, ha detto Kimbrough.
