While police believe a woman who tried to ram her car into the Gordon County Jail on Thursday morning was drinking beforehand, they still are uncertain what triggered her outburst.
"We know everything but why," Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Daniel Sims said Friday. "She had some things going on in her personal life that led to all this."
Police said 24-year-old Johana Cortes tried to ram her Toyota Corolla into the sheriff's office lobby. She missed and wound up knocking over a police memorial instead.
Sims said he didn't believe her actions were specifically tied to anyone at the sheriff's office.
The GBI is leading the investigation, Sims said, including looking into any medical conditions Cortes may have had and awaiting blood-test results.
GBI spokesman John Bankhead said Cortes was involved in several crashes in Calhoun, Ga., on Thursday before the incident at the sheriff's office.
When responders pulled her from the car Thursday she said there was a bomb in the Corolla, Bankhead said. A GBI bomb squad found no device, he said.
She was released from Gordon Hospital late Thursday night and booked in the county jail, hospital officials said.
Cortes was charged with terroristic threats and acts, DUI, criminal damage to property, interference with government property, reckless driving and three counts of leaving the scene of an accident, said 1st Sgt. James Cohen with the Gordon County Sheriff's Office.
Police are trying to locate her family and believe she has an ex-husband and children in the area, Sims said.
While her home was listed as 1025 Erwin Hill Church Road in Calhoun, investigators believe she was living somewhere else, he said.
