A newly released surveillance video shows a handcuffed Florida female pulling a gun hidden in her pants and opening fire in a moving sheriff's cruiser after a traffic stop.
Last June, Rheanna Harden — then 22 years old — was accused of driving with a suspended license, providing false identification to law enforcement, and possession of drugs, the Marion County Sheriff's Office told WESH-TV.
Court records indicate Harden told investigators she got angry about how she was treated on the way to jail, WFTV reported, adding that she told investigators she said a prayer moments before opening fire.
But despite the deputy checking Harden three times, he never found a gun hidden in her pants, WFTV-TV reported.
In surveillance video WFTV said it recently obtained recorded inside a sheriff's department cruiser, Harden is seen searching for something in her pants while sitting in the back of the patrol vehicle, WESH said.
Deputies said Harden was "flexible" enough to grab a gun from her pants and open fire while inside the cruiser, WFTV reported. The deputy was driving the vehicle at the time of the shooting, WESH added.
The patrol car crashed into a utility pole before the deputy managed to exit the cruiser and return fire, WESH said, citing the sheriff's office.
Harden suffered shoulder and hip injuries, and the deputy suffered a graze wound near his right eye, authorities told WESH, which added that both Harden and deputy were hospitalized and later released.
The surveillance video also shows that Harden was able to get her left hand out of her handcuffs at least once, WFTV reported, adding that the deputy handcuffed her three times.
Indeed, investigators added to WFTV that Harden was able to pull off the shooting using a small revolver, despite having been handcuffed behind her back and patted down before her arrest.
Court records indicate Harden told investigators she got angry about how she was treated on the way to jail, WFTV reported, adding that she told investigators she said a prayer moments before opening fire.
Reports indicate Harden fired six rounds.
As you likely expect, Harden was hit with additional charges after the incident — namely attempted second-degree murder of a law enforcement officer and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, the sheriff's office told WESH.
Harden — who was denied bond — has a lengthy criminal history out of Bay County, which includes fleeing and eluding law enforcement officers and grand theft, WFTV said.
Her next court date is Jan. 29, jail records show.

Whitney Cummings mocked and ridiculed the hypocrisy of liberals during her appearance on Joe Rogan's incredibly popular podcast.
Cummings was explaining how she came to have some conservative beliefs after being liberal and seeing the contradictory claims and beliefs they held.
'We believe in climate change and the sea is rising, but we live on the coast! Like, would you buy a house on the beach if you truly believe that?'
"I was as liberal — I had blue hair, you guys! I rescue pit bulls. It doesn't get any more liberal than me!" she joked. "But the whole idea with being liberal is like, you had me at, 'We're not racist, everybody's equal,' diversity, but then it turns into diversity but not diversity of thought!"
She said that she was not an expert in politics but could easily pick up on hypocrisy.
"So, it just started to just be like, hold on, you know, we don't believe in gender, but we need a female president. And you're like, huh?" she said. "And it's like, 'My body my choice,' unless it's a baby that needs a vaccine for hepatitis B, which comes from butt sex!"
"And sharing needles," Rogan added.
"And sharing needles!" she agreed. "And then, we believe in climate change and the sea is rising, but we live on the coast! Like, would you buy a house on the beach if you truly believe that?"
Rogan and Cummings were ridiculing a far-left socialist scheme espoused by a housing activist who had been hired by newly inaugurated New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Video of the interaction was posted to social media, where it garnered millions of views. The entire podcast with Cummings can be viewed on the show's YouTube channel.
She went on to express support for Democratic politician Beto O'Rourke, which Rogan appeared to oppose. He said that there would likely be a backlash to Mamdani's policies, and it might lead to Republican control of the city.
