An Arkansas white woman has been booked into the jail where her husband works as an administrator after she allegedly pulled a gun on four black teens who knocked at her door for an annual fundraiser.

Jerri Kelly, 46, was charged with false imprisonment, endangering the welfare of a minor and aggravated assault. The charges are related to an Aug. 7 incident during which police responded to a call about "suspicious persons."

"I observed Mrs. Kelly holding a chrome-plated revolver that was pointed at four black males that were lying face down in the driveway with the hands behind their backs," said police officer Michael Hinton.

The teens were high school students doing a fundraiser for their football team. Kelly had reportedly made statements about their skin color and hers, police said.
