Missouri Woman Arrested for Harassment

(Winfield, Missouri) A 50-year-old local woman, Lynn Marie Herzog, has been accused of scaring the bejeezus out of neighborhood boys by screaming, cursing and brandishing a chainsaw while wearing a ski mask.

Herzog was arrested and charged with felony harassment of a child under 17.

"I come out of my door and hear her screaming at the kids," neighbor Patty Fleming told local station KTVI.

"The boys start walking and she starts walking towards them with her skull mask and her chainsaw, shaking it like she was going to hurt the kids."

Herzog claims the children had thrown rocks at her home in the past, but Fleming argues that Herzog's response to the supposed rocks was excessive.

Herzog was booked into custody with bond set at $10,000.
