Big Rapids, Michigan – U.S. Senator Carl Levin of Michigan was struck in the face by an apple pie thrown by Ahlam M. Mohsen, on Monday during a constituent meeting in Big Rapids, Mich. Mohsen has been identified as an anti-war protester.

She was arraigned Tuesday on a felony count of stalking and misdemeanor counts of assault and is being held in jail on a $250,000 bond. As Levin was taking a question from a man who had just finished reading a long statement, Mohsen threw the pie. The 22-year-old Michigan State University student from Coldwater opposes the United States financial support for Israel’s military according to reports. Mohsen said she hoped to send the message that liberals and Democrats are just as involved in the violence of war as republicans. 

In Jan. 2009 Mohsen and a friend were arrested at Levin’s Lansing State Office after conducting a sit-in protest over U.S. war crimes. Levin was humorous about the situation, saying that he wished the pie was blueberry, his favorite flavor.

Twenty-two-year-old Ahlam M. Mohsen of Coldwater was arraigned Tuesday on a felony count of stalking and other charges. A Mecosta County district judge set her bond at $250,000.
