Via the wonderful and wacky blog Lowering the Bar, a story that Eilish De'Avalon, a "pagan priestess" who says she isn't subject to "earthly" laws has received a two month stint in jail for dragging a Geelong, Victoria traffic cop by his arm for 200 meters along a road. He apparently ordered her to stop but--see previous sentence. As she was being led away (maybe by her arm?) to the pokey she told Judge Geoff Chettle that she "declined his offer" and he told her "I'm afraid it's not negotiable." But she's a witch! Isn't he worried? After all, when the cop tried to stop her,
[s]he behaved in a bizarre fashion, telling the officer she was from another world and did not need a licence and that she had a spiritual and universal name that was not recognised here. "Your laws and penalties don't apply to me. I'm not accepting them, I'm sorry, I must go, thank you,'' she told the officer. Judge Chettle said she then drove off with Sen-Constable Logan's arm trapped in the driver's side window and it was only when she slowed down to turn a corner that he was able to reach in and grab her keys.
Ms. De'Avalon (so that's where she's from) is a "a marriage celebrant, self-styled witch and alternative therapies practitioner." To show there are no hard feelings, or maybe to facilitate good relations among the planets, she offered the officer "spiritual healing and a massage," but he turned her down. Well, gee.
