Guilty pleas entered in Sen. Levin pie-in-the-face case
GRAND RAPIDS (AP) -- A college student has pleaded guilty to assaulting Michigan Sen. Carl Levin with an apple pie in his face.
Ahlam Mohsen, a senior at Michigan State University, said last Friday she did it as an "anti-war statement." She and co-defendant Max Kantar accepted plea deals to a misdemeanor. The maximum penalty is a year in jail.
Levin was stuck with a pie last summer while meeting with constituents at a deli in Big Rapids. Kantar read a statement before Mohsen struck the Michigan Democrat with the pie.
Mohsen's lawyer, Allison Folmar, says the crust was removed so Levin wouldn't get hurt. Mohsen and Kantar will be sentenced on June 20 in federal court in Grand Rapids.
