Woman Held in Officer Murder Threat

An Augusta woman who claimed to be a member of the Marines threatened to murder a Marietta police officer and his family after her release from jail, authorities said.

Erica F. Felger's alleged threat was "captured on both video and audio," according to a Cobb County criminal warrant.

Felger was pulled over for allegedly driving 70 m.p.h. in a 35 m.p.h. zone, records show. She allegedly told authorities to take her to jail because she was drunk.

"The impairment was indicated through speeding, slurred speech, red eyes, the odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath, (and) disorderly, violent, aggressive behavior," according to the warrant. "The accused admitted to drinking around 8 beers. The accused was unable to focus on a topic, could not stand without support, refused field sobriety evaluations and refused a state breath test."

Felger was arrested on charges that include speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer and terroristic threats. She is in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond.
