Facebook Threat to Shoot Cops Gets Evergreen Park Woman Arrested

Evergreen Park, IL -- An Evergreen Park woman was arrested after she reportedly threatened to shoot police in a Facebook post, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The arrest came the morning after five Dallas police officers were shot to death by a sniper reportedly angry about recent police-involved shootings of African American men in Minnesota and Louisiana.

Jenesis Reynolds, 24, was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct. She was arrested Friday morning at her home in the 9500 block of South Richmond Avenue.

Reynolds is accused of posting on Facebook, “all I know is if the police stops and request me to get out of the car I’m shooting instantly. It may not solve anything and yes I will die but Jenesis will be revelation for my people.”

She went on to say, “I’m willing to take one for the team. I have no problem shooting a cop for simple traffic stop cuz they’d have no problem doing it to me.”

Evergreen Park police did not say what, if anything, prompted the post. She was released on her own recognizance, according to the Tribune.
