Police say Snape then fled into neighboring Delray Beach, where she crashed. A
Delray police officer said Snape appeared to be having convulsions, but was
able to get out of the car. She stared into space and would only say she was OK.
Police say that in the ambulance, Snape began screaming and fighting with
medics while yelling she is Harry Potter. The medics drugged her. Police say
they found in her purse the synthetic drug commonly known
as “bath salts,” which can cause psychotic episodes.
She remained jailed Sunday on $60,000 bond. The Palm Beach County
public defender’s office was not open Sunday and has a policy of not speaking
about its cases. In the Potter novels, there is a character named Snape.
Feuerstein, a 1979 graduate of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law,
was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush in 2003. Her
“eccentric style and warm personality lit up the courtroom,” said Eugene Corcoran,
the Eastern District’s executive. “She will be missed by her colleagues and
litigants alike.” Mark Lesko, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District,
tweeted, “As we mourn her tragic death, we also remember Judge Feuerstein’s
unwavering commitment to justice and service to the people of our district and our nation.
