January 1, “You’re Allergic? Good”: Woman Accused of Ambushing Sheriff’s Deputies with Swarm of Bees

A Massachusetts woman is facing multiple charges after releasing a swarm of bees on sheriff’s deputies who were trying to serve an eviction notice.

The buzzworthy incident occurred on Oct. 12, the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office said, as they were dealing with an eviction on Memery Lane in Longmeadow, and they were met by several protesters.

Among the protesters was Hadley resident Rorie Susan Woods, 55, who pulled up in her SUV towing a flatbed with multiple manufactured bee hives. Woods, who donned a beekeeper’s suit for protection, began trying to open the lids on the bee hives to unleash them on the deputies.

When she was told that several officers were allergic to bees, she allegedly said, “Oh, you’re allergic? Good.”

Woods was eventually placed under arrest, but not before several deputies were stung, including the three who have a bee allergy, according to the official department report.

The 55-year-old pleaded not guilty to multiple assault and battery charges at her arraignment and was released without bail.

Hampden County Sheriff Nick Cocchi said Woods could have faced more serious charges if anything worse had happened.

“We had one staff member go the hospital, and, luckily, he was all right,” Cocchi said.

Chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Hoffman told the Associated Press that the deputies were simply doing their jobs.

“We had a court order that’s been presented to us and it’s our job to effectuate that court order,” Hoffman said. “It was Miss Woods’ arrival with her vehicle and her trailer that really caused things to go haywire.”

    I am so saddened by the trajectory my beloved country is on.
    Our treasured history – with its greatness and flaws…..has been hijacked by delusional wishful thinkers.
    The undeniable truths of science….as in DNA proving XX or XY as the progenitors of future generations. Any deviation is statistically….a drop in the proverbial bucket.
    A society without law and order will be a lawless society. Defund the police??? Who would be called for individuals protection against those harming us? As we are ARE human….not robots yet…….we are not perfect. Work to improve…not dismantle!!!

    i could go on………but, I believe we are sinking fast!!

      I agree 100%. The elections in 2022 and 2024 will be so crucial to saving this great nation. All Patriots must vote and try to drag a registered voter to the polling place with you. If these elections are lost or some kind of shenanigans become apparent, the country will dissolve into something only someone from Cuba or Venezuela would recognize.

    Miss Woods must have been a liberal who acts on feelings without concern for the consequences.
