Woman arrested for hurling loogie on Ed Martin after bragging about it in response to his social media posts

A 32-year-old woman has been arrested and charged after she was caught on camera spitting on interim US Attorney Ed Martin while he was talking to reporters in a televised interview earlier this month.  

Emily Gabriella Sommer was arrested in connection to the incident after police were able to identify an X account belonging to Sommer, where she gloated over hurling the loogie on the attorney. After the woman was caught on camera spitting at Martin, the X account, with the handle "@lefttits," posted a number of statements bragging about the incident, replying directly to Martin, according to charging documents from the Department of Justice.

Sommer has been charged with one count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a government official, according to the DOJ. The suspect was taken into custody on Thursday, and the case is being investigated by the US Marshals Service.  
 
Following the incident, the account wrote on a number of posts from Martin, "ED, that was me that spit in your face today in front of your not USDC for D.C. Courthouse, that absolutely definitely spit in your face on camera."

"Hi, hello. A pleasure to hawk a dehydrated, pithy white foam spit into your face. I only apologize that this city left me so dehydrated and unable to get water that I couldn't produce more to stain and drip down your face," she added in the replies to multiple social media posts from Martin.

During an interview on May 8 with Ed Martin on Newsmax, a woman was seen on the camera approaching Martin, asking, “Are you Ed Martin? You are. Ed Martin."  

Afterwards, the woman lunged, spitting on the official during the live interview. As she walked away, the woman yelled, “You are a disgusting man. F*ck you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served," the DOJ stated in the charging documents.
