What is this world coming to? Mission specialist Lisa Nowak flew on the shuttle Discovery last summer. Now she's sitting in a jail cell.
Nowak, 43, is charged with attempted kidnapping, battery, attempted vehicle burglary with battery and destruction of evidence. Police considered her such a danger that they requested she be held without bail in the Orange County Jail, reports show.
The business began when Nowak who, "...was wearing a trench coat and wig and had a knife, BB pistol, rubber tubing and plastic bags, went to confront a younger woman who had been seeing a male astronaut Nowak pined for. "Once U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman arrived, Nowak followed her to the airport's Blue Lot for long-term parking, tried to get into Shipman's car and doused her with pepper spray, according to reports."
"Shipman told police that when she arrived at the airport and was waiting for the airport satellite parking shuttle, she noticed a woman wearing a trench coat near the taxi stand. The woman boarded the bus after Shipman, according to police, and followed her to Shipman's car.
"When Shipman got into her car, reports show, she heard "running footsteps" coming toward her. Nowak tried to open the car door, then claimed she needed a ride, or use of a cell phone. When Shipman rolled down her window a couple of inches, Nowak "sprayed some type of chemical spray into the vehicle," reports show."
An Unhappy Landing for Lisa
