Woman gets 2 years in jail for McMissle incident

A Virginia woman was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to two years in jail for throwing a McDonald’s cup of ice water into the open window of another car on Interstate 95.

Jessica Hall, 25, of Jacksonville, N.C., was charged and convicted by a Stafford County jury of maliciously throwing a missile into an occupied vehicle, a felony in Virginia.

The driver of the plaintiff’s car said he was “maneuvering through the stalled traffic.” The accused said he “cut her off” more than once.

The accused then drove on the shoulder of the road and “chucked a big, supersized McDonald's cup at us through the window.”

Inside the victims car there was a sticky, icy mess on the occupants and the inside of the car.

The accused will pay with a felony on her record and two years in jail.

The McMissile thrower is spared jail time -- gets probation. She is still a convicted felon, however.

She has been in jail since Jan. 4. Presumably, she has now been released. She must remain on good behavior for five years and also must pay fines and court costs.
