DeLAND, Fla. -- A 44-year-old woman hurled death threats and racial slurs at a deputy and said her father belonged to the KKK after she was stopped Wednesday morning for making an illegal left, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Julie Edwards Hubbard, of Crescent City, was arrested on charges of corruption of a public servant or family by threat, battery on a law enforcement officer and obstructing an officer without violence.
According to sheriff's deputies, Hubbard also spat at the deputy whom she insulted.
According to a sheriff's report, Hubbard was stopped by Sgt. George Maddox at 12:49 a.m. Wednesday when she made a left turn at Old Daytona Road and Woodland Boulevard. When the deputy contacted Hubbard, she immediately became "belligerent and unruly" toward Maddox, according to the report.
While the deputy ran a check on Hubbard, she made several verbal threats while banging her head on the divider of the patrol car, the report stated. Hubbard continued to call Maddox, who is black, racially derogatory names and spat on the sergeant's left leg and the stomach area of his uniform, telling the deputy that "her father was a member of the KKK" and "You will get yours," the report said.
Hubbard also purposely urinated in the back of the car, the report said.
A parrot was removed from Hubbard's car, the report said.
Hubbard was being held at the Volusia County Branch Jail on $21,000 bond.
