California woman charged with posing as Russian agent in attempted child abduction

Authorities said Perrone was homeless and living in her car. She also reportedly had several warrants for her arrest in other states for assault, battery, possession of a controlled substance, trespassing and resisting arrest.

At the time of her arrest, the suspect was on probation for a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon in Nevada. She was also recently arrested for assault with a deadly weapon (not a firearm), but she was released due to “insufficient evidence,” police said.

She is charged with attempted kidnapping and false imprisonment, both felonies, as well as brandishing, a misdemeanor, officials said.
