Overview

• Deputies arrested Courtney Beth Anderson, 56, after an alleged assault during a Sunday vigil in Lake Sumter Landing for Charlie Kirk.
• An arrest report says Anderson was yelling and making obscene gestures before she was asked to leave, then allegedly pushed a 73-year-old organizer who fell and struck her head.
• The Villages Fire Rescue evaluated the victim at the scene and she declined transport, while multiple witnesses described the shove as unprovoked.
• Anderson declined to speak with officers and invoked her right to counsel, and a WESH-reviewed affidavit notes she said, "I was in the wrong, and I'm sorry" as deputies approached.
• The victim was identified as MAGA Club co-founder Valerie Jamieson; records cite two prior misdemeanor battery convictions for Anderson in 2001 and local outlets report she bonded out after booking.
