Rorie S. Woods, who is charged with assault and battery, is accused of taking beehives to a home where an eviction notice was being served and freeing the bees on deputies.

A Massachusetts woman is facing multiple assault and battery charges for allegedly releasing a swarm of bees on a group of sheriff’s deputies, some of them allergic to bee stings, as they tried to serve an eviction notice, authorities said.

The Hampden County Sheriff’s Department deputies went to a home in Longmeadow on the morning of Oct. 12 and were met by protesters, according to the official department report.

Woods, who lives in Hadley, soon arrived in an SUV towing a trailer carrying beehives, the report said. She started “shaking” the hives, broke the cover off one, causing hundreds of bees to swarm out and initially sting one deputy, according to the report.

Woods, who put on a beekeeper’s suit to protect herself, was eventually handcuffed but not before several more sheriff’s department employees were stung, including three who are allergic to bees, the report said.

    The job of police from their inception has been to protect the wealthy and their interests. The police are oppressors of the people. Always have been and without enormous systemic change they always will be.

    One of the greatest scams was turning police, which started as private forces hired by businesses and wealthy individuals into something the public pays for through taxes.

    Fuck the police.
