A Lewis Run woman was arraigned Thursday on allegations from October when she was allegedly naked in the street, carrying a gun and smashing pumpkins.
Becky Lydia Smith, 41, is charged with possession of a firearm prohibited, a first-degree misdemeanor; indecent exposure, a second-degree misdemeanor; disorderly conduct, a third-degree misdemeanor; and harassment, a summary offense.
According to the criminal complaint, on Oct. 18, at 5:44 p.m., state troopers were called to Lafayette Avenue in Lewis Run for a report of a naked woman carrying a gun in the street, smashing pumpkins. When troopers arrived on the scene, Smith had placed the gun on a stump in the yard of her residence. She was carrying a log and was instructed several times by multiple troopers to put it down. She threw the log at someone, and was tased and taken into custody, the complaint read.
The gun she had been carrying was a bolt-action rifle, which was seized along with three other long guns in her residence. Upon speaking with a representative of the Department of Human Services, troopers learned that Smith had been involuntarily committed to the hospital twice, including just a few days before the incident.
Smith was arraigned Thursday before District Judge Rich Luther and released in lieu of $5,000 unsecured bail. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday.
