OAKLAND — The woman accused of driving a U-Haul truck into live gunfire at Alameda’s Coast Guard Island during immigration protests in October is out on bail, according to multiple media reports.
Bella Thompson, 26, charged by federal prosecutors with one count of assault on a federal officer, stepped out of Santa Rita Jail Friday morning, NBC Bay Area reported.
Also known as Bella Castillo, she first appeared in an Oakland courtroom earlier this month. She faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. A public defender said at a recent hearing that the incident at the center of the case “(has) been borne out of an acute mental health issue.”
During the Oct. 23 incident, Thompson and another bystander suffered gunshot wounds in what appeared to be the peak of a heated day of protests in response to threats by President Donald Trump to send a swarm of federal agents for an immigration crackdown in the Bay Area.
But the agents never came, reportedly following discussions Trump had with some of the region’s officials and tech executives.
