FROM NEW YORK POST: A woman who screamed “F–k these cops” after purposely running down a police officer and breaking his leg with her car got “not nearly enough” time in prison at her sentencing Wednesday, a cop union said.
Sahara Dula, 25, was sentenced two years behind bars after she admitted to intentionally plowed over an NYPD cop while driving high into oncoming traffic on the Upper East Side in January 2024.
Dula, who infamously admitted to mowing into police “on purpose,” appeared for sentencing before Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Melissa T. Lewis, after she pleaded guilty to assault in the second degree on June 16.
“The sentence is not nearly enough. This individual tried to run down a New York City police officer. She could have killed him,” the Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said. “We’re glad she is going behind bars instead of walking free, but our justice system needs to send a message that there will be zero leniency for attacks on police officers.”
Dula’s attorney, Patricia Wright, said her client suffers from bipolar disorder and receives mental health treatment.
As part of the plea, Dula, who is a college criminal justice graduate, must also serve three years of probation after she’s released from prison.
