Handcuffed woman shoots Marion County deputy with gun hidden in her pants
  • Surveillance footage captured Rheanna Harden, 22, shooting at a deputy from the back of a police cruiser in Florida last June.
  • Harden, who was handcuffed, had been arrested on charges including possession of methamphetamine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, providing false ID, and driving with a suspended licence.
  • She retrieved a concealed weapon, slid open the glass partition, covered the camera, and fired at the Marion County deputy, who then returned fire.
  • The incident resulted in the police car crashing into a utility pole.
  • Both Harden and the deputy sustained non-life threatening injuries, and Harden now faces an additional charge of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer.
