WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Connecticut woman charged with driving a rented SUV through barriers at Mar-a-Lago in January 2020, prompting the Secret Service and Palm Beach County sheriff's officers to fire at her vehicle, was temporarily insane at the time of the incident, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Circuit Judge Scott Suskauer accepted Hannah Roemhild's not-guilty plea at a hearing Tuesday morning.
Lawyers for Roemhild, now 32, have said the opera singer has long dealt with mental health issues and had not taken her medication at the time of the incident. She appeared at the hearing via Zoom from a residence in Connecticut where she has been living under federal supervised release since last year.
