Alabama Woman Convicted of Breaking Police Car Window Under Controversial Anti-Riot Law
A Mobile woman who smashed the window of a police car during a protest has been convicted.
Tia Pugh, 22, was charged after a May 31, 2020 protest in downtown Mobile over the death of George Floyd. Protestors were attempting to make their way onto the I-10 ramp, which was blocked off by Mobile Police Department officials.
Floyd was brought up multiple times during the trial by George Armstrong, one of Pugh’s lawyers. Armstrong said that May 31 ended up being the most important day of her life.
“Pugh admitted to [breaking the window] and doing it on purpose, but this case is more than that,” Armstrong said.

Teddington RNLI were ‘paged’ by London Coastguard at 10:02 on Monday 10th May 2021. Only the day before our colleagues at Chiswick RNLI had been involved in the attempted rescue at Richmond Half Lock. The story captured the imagination of the public. All our crew at Teddington RNLI had been following the story. The sheer strength of the whale enabled it to escape and swim away from the initial rescue. The whale was next spotted at Teddington Weir by a member of the public who rang one of the Teddington RNLI crew. After Teddington RNLI notified the London Coastguard at 10:02 on Monday 10th May 2021, the pagers went and Teddington RNLI crew were called into action.
