Etta Lopez, 31, of Sacramento is charged with assaulting a cop. What was her motivation for the unprovoked attack on the police officer you might ask? Well, she wanted to quit her smoking habit, naturally! She thought by slapping the cop, she’d be put in jail and that would help her kick the cancer sticks.
“There’s easier ways to stop smoking besides hitting a cop,” Roger Spearman, a neighbor, said. Spearman, who knows Lopez says she does smoke a lot, and they used to smoke together.
“I have not heard of something like that before,” Kimberly Bankston-Lee with the anti-smoking group Breathe California said.
I guess this is one way to quit…
