[Sue Hovey]

And he calls them ladies...

well it comes close to being a pejorative term anyway, but seems not 
appropriately descriptive in this sense.

>>    Woman Arrested for Yelling Witch Chants
>>
>>   WAUKESHA - A Waukesha woman was arrested early Tuesday morning for
>> disturbing neighbors by yelling witch chants around a bonfire she built
>> 10-feet from her home, police Capt. Mike Babe said.
>>
>>     Brenna K. Barney, 42, told police that they were infringing on her
>> religious beliefs since she is a Wiccan and she was performing a ritual
>> because of a new moon, Babe said. She said her name is Brenna Raven
>> Moonfire.
>>
>>     Criminal charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct were
>> filed against Barney in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
>>
>>     Police may also give Barney a ticket alleging negligent handling of
>> burning materials, Babe said.
>>
>>     Neighbors in the 2300 block of Madison St. called police at 12:11
>> a.m., Babe said.
>>
>>     When an officer arrived, he heard the woman yelling in the backyard
>> and found her wearing headphones, a T-shirt and underwear, Babe said.
>> The officer tried to get her attention by shining a flashlight on her
>> but she continued yelling her chants.
>>
>>     At one point she poured lighter fluid on the fire, which was
>> 10-feet from her residence, he said. She was burning rubber car mats
>> and a cooler, Babe said.
>>
>>     When the officer was able to get the woman's attention she refused
>> to cooperate telling the officer she was performing a religious ritual.
>> She continued to be belligerent and the officer could smell alcohol on
>> the woman's breath, Babe said.
>>
>>     Four officers responded to the scene and were able to take the
>> woman into custody. She was first taken to Waukesha Memorial Hospital
>> where she continued to yell and swear at officers and hospital staff,
>> Babe said.
>>
>>    After she was medically cleared, she was taken to jail.
