Sahara Dula, 24, told investigators she struck the officer 'on purpose
A woman drove into a New York City Police officer at a crime scene and admitted that it was intentional, saying, "F--- these cops, it's a lesson to him."
Sahara Dula, 24, was driving her black Lexus the wrong way on the Upper East Side on Wednesday while high on marijuana when she plowed into the officer, according to officials.
"I told the cop I wanted to go straight, and he wouldn't move, so I hit him. I did it on purpose," Dula later told investigators, court papers show.
"F--- these cops! He wouldn't move!" she screamed shortly after the incident, according to the documents.
"We’re glad that this individual is being kept in jail, but we don’t understand why she isn’t being charged with attempted murder," Hendry said in a statement. "This was a vicious attack. She intentionally tried to run over a New York City police officer. This leniency is why thousands of police officers are being assaulted and attacked on a daily basis."
Dula may have escaped an attempted murder charge because of questions about whether she intended to kill the cop, law-enforcement sources told the New York Post.
In court, Dula's lawyer said she runs her own company where she mentors kids on Saturdays and attempts to help them stay off the streets and away from drugs and gangs.

She was high from smoking weed? It seems she does not follow her own advice. ;)

Must be really lucrative to afford a Lexus. I'll bet single welfare mothers each pay her thousands of dollars a month to keep they chilren on the straight and narrow. Because they just care so much.
No government grants involved at all, just a solid business plan. Right.

I'd bet she gets paid from the ADC the mothers of the kids get if they are single mothers. ;)
