Judge denies bond for woman accused of threatening police

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A woman accused of making videos calling people to kill police officers appeared in a Clayton County court Friday morning.

The woman in the video, Latausha Nedd, who goes by the name Eye Empress Sekhmet, calls for a war on not only white people, but she advocates shooting police officers.
"I say let's have a take a gun day, and start walking up on these untrained and stealing their weapons," Nedd said.

Channel 2 Action News was the only news station there when Nedd was arrested.

Channel 2's Tom Jones was there as officers removed her from her home. Jones said Nedd was watching Channel 2 Action News when she was arrested.

“You really want people to kill cops?” Jones asked Nedd.

"I never said that," Nedd told Jones.

“She was watching your news broadcast," Chief Michael Register with the Clayton County Police Department told Jones.  "A lot of people talk on the Internet and on YouTube, but most people don't make threats against segments of the community."

In court, the judge read of the charges and allegations against Nedd. She is charged with criminal solicitation and terroristic threats, both felonies.
Nedd was also charged with battery and cruelty to children. She was in a state of disbelief after hearing the two charges.
"Charges of battery and child cruelty? I don't even have a child. I have no idea what you're talking about," Nedd said.
The child cruelty case involves a daughter of one of Nedd's friends. 

Nedd also denied claims related to her first two charges.

The judge chose to deny Nedd bond. She will stay in jail until her next court appearance next month.
