WEST PALM BEACH, Fla — A Connecticut opera singer is mentally competent to stand trial on charges she sped through a checkpoint outside President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, drawing gunfire.
Hannah Roemhild's attorney says she responded well to the medication she has received while jailed. The attorney says the 30-year-old Connecticut resident has a history of mental illness.
Authorities say Roemhild danced on the hood of her SUV before speeding away from a trooper on Jan. 31.
They say she barreled through the nearby checkpoint, almost hitting deputies and Secret Service agents. They fired, shattering her back window. She was arrested a short time later.
