We broke the story … Bedard was arrested twice over the Thanksgiving weekend in Beavercreek, OH, and police body cam of the first arrest shows her immediately getting hostile with the officers who showed up to talk to her.
Bedard had a belt in her hand as she repeatedly yelled at the “white man” cops, and then started jumping and screaming, “I’m so crazy” they put her in cuffs… the arrest went down at her ex-husband’s home after police responded to a possible domestic violence situation. Cops say she was yelling at her 17-year-old son.TMZ.com added:
Bedard’s second arrest, a couple days later on Nov. 30, was at a hotel where she allegedly harassed an employee. The police footage, once again, shows her get aggressive and refuse to leave… She got even more out of control [;] wildly running around the lobby, and eventually charging at the officer, who managed to take her down and arrest her.
