Woman Arrested in North Austin After Grabbing Officer's Private Areas

NORTH AUSTIN, TX — Maybe it was the uniform.

A woman picked up on outstanding warrants secured another charge after being accused of grabbing an officer's genitals while calling him "hot," according to a published report. The Austin American-Statesman reported that a University of Texas at Austin campus police officer approached Bonnie Fay Terraciano, 43, outside a CVS drug store along the 2200 block of Guadalupe Street at about 11 p.m., inquiring about the open can of beer resting next to her.

After a background search yielded information on outstanding warrants, the woman was led to the back of the patrol car but stumbled to the ground en route to the car. As the officer helped her up, she allegedly grabbed his private parts as she asked him: "Why are you so good-looking but so mean?" according to an affidavit. "You're hot, man. That's why I grabbed you!"

The flattery (not to mention the grabbing and twisting of the officer's genitals) was not welcome. The woman was charged with assault on a public servant, a third-degree felony, and booked in the Travis County Jail with bail set at $15,000.
