BOSTON — As if evictions didn’t sting enough already, a Western Massachusetts woman is accused of unleashing a hive of bees on sheriff’s deputies enforcing one last week.
The Hampden County Sheriff’s office accuses Rorie Susan Woods, 55, of Hadley, of pulling up to an ongoing eviction on Memery Lane in Longmeadow the morning of Oct. 12, stirring up some bees from manufactured hives pulled in a trailer behind her blue Nissan Xterra SUV and then unleashing them on deputies.
Woods was arrested and charged with four counts of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon; three counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon and a charge of disorderly conduct.
