A Florida personal injury attorney has been disbarred after allegedly hitting four people in a parking lot with her car because “voices” in her head told her to.
Beatrice Bijoux, 31, told cops that “voices in her head had told her to kill the people,” according to an arrest report obtained by the Miami Herald.
Bijoux, who was reportedly driving at about 35 mph, made no attempt to slow down during the attack, say police, who claim that at one point, surveillance video showed her “reversing at a high rate of speed” before she allegedly tried to strike another pedestrian.
The attorney has since been disbarred after the state Supreme Court granted the Florida Bar’s emergency request to suspend her.
Bijoux is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of high-speed or wanton fleeing, and four counts of attempted murder.
