Sword wielding woman arrested at Orlando mosque
2012-12-20
ORLANDO, Fla. - A sword-wielding woman was arrested Wednesday morning after she entered a mosque located on the campus of a private Orlando school. Dominique Vianneyte Eloi, 47, was arrested on charges of possession of a weapon on school grounds, disrupting a school function and aggravated assault with a weapon.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Eloi drove onto the campus of Leaders Preparatory School on North Goldenrod Road near East Colonial Drive and North Chickasaw Trail and got out of her car carrying a 2-foot-long sword.

An employee asked the woman what she was doing, but she did not respond, authorities said. Authorities say she didn't speak English and had several identifications on her, including one from Arizona.
Definitely sounds like a nutter...
The school was placed on lockdown, and the school worker called authorities. Deputies spotted Eloi walking out of the mosque, and she was arrested.

"I have no idea who she is or why she chose to come here," said Iman Mohammed Musri, of the Islamic Society of Central Florida. "I tried to speak to her, but she didn't respond to anything, she started speaking German."

No one was injured in the incident.

An investigation is ongoing, and deputies said it's unclear why Eloi went to the campus. It's also not known if she has any ties to anyone at the school or mosque. Jail officials said Eloi, who's being held on no bond, has been uncooperative.
Did they ask her in German?

#4  While she does sound like a crazy person, it might be worth asking whether there's a relation between her craziness and the RoP. Was she a muslim convert who was 'punished' for insufficient submission to Allan or to the males of the cult, for instance?
