"At the Bethesda, Maryland location of the Tex-Mex chain, Conway says she was accosted by a furious woman who grabbed her from behind and shook her while she was out to eat with her daughter and friends in October. Conway described the attacker as "out of control," reported the incident to police, and later identified Mary Elizabeth Inabinett, 63, out of a lineup; Conway’s daughter reportedly filmed the run-in. According to the police report Conway says Inabinett yelled at her for about 10 minutes, shouting "shame on you" and other comments Conway believed referred to her political views. Inabinett left the restaurant, was charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct, and is due in Montgomery County district court March 29; her attorney says she will plead not guilty and contends she did not assault Conway, claiming she was exercising her First Amendment rights." - Gabe Hiatt
