Woman who grabbed Wintrich notes appears in court

ROCKVILLE, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut woman has made her first court appearance after being charged with attempting to steal the notes of right-wing commentator Lucian Wintrich during his appearance last month at the University of Connecticut.

Catherine Gregory, of Willimantic, is charged with attempted sixth-degree larceny and disorderly conduct after taking papers from a lectern as the Gateway Pundit writer prepared to give a speech titled "It's OK To Be White."

Wintrich was originally charged with breach of speech after grabbing Gregory in an attempt to retrieve the notes. Those charges were dropped this week.

Gregory did not enter a plea Wednesday and her case was continued to January 9.
