Multiple suspects allegedly involved in a violent South Portland, Oregon, riot near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office appeared in court Thursday for offenses that included assaulting federal officers and creating a hazard while on government property.

Julie Winters, 46, of Portland, was charged with felony attempted assault of a federal officer.

Officials said Winters then threw the knife at an officer, but it did not hit anyone. She was tased while attempting to flee and was taken to the ground.

As officers attempted to take her into custody, she pulled a second large knife from her waistband, according to court documents. An officer disarmed Winters and arrested her.

The same evening, Chambers allegedly pointed a laser pointer at a federal officer’s eye, according to the release.

Chambers was also charged with failing to comply with an officer’s orders to leave the premises June 17 and for allegedly throwing an object at federal property June 20.  

Winters was detained pending future court proceedings, officials said. Pope and Chambers were released on conditions pending future court proceedings.
