FRANKLIN, Ind. (WISH) A 35-year-old Greenwood woman was charged Tuesday with attempted murder, the Johnson County prosecutor’s office said in a news release Wednesday.
Linda Bermann was charged after two juveniles about 9 p.m. Monday called Greenwood Police Department to a home in the 1700 block of Blue Grass Parkway. That’s east of U.S. 31 between East Stop 18 Road and East Worthsville Road.
Court documents said the juveniles reported that Bermann tried to shoot one of them with an assault rifle at the home.
Bermann later told police she’d made the threat to kill herself and the two juveniles because a relative upset her, and she wanted to make the relative feel badly.
The victim told police that "something didn't feel right" and that the cashier's check appeared to be printed on cheap paper with no security features.
