A woman dubbed #MinivanKaren on social media has been charged for allegedly plowing her car through a crowd of protesters at Indianapolis’ Monument Circle. Diane Goebel, 68, now faces a charge of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon after the June 8 incident was recorded on video by a bystander at the demonstration against police brutality. Goebel claimed to police that the protesters got in her way as she drove around Monument Circle, jumping on her minivan and breaking a window. Several people were hurt in the crash, which quickly prompted calls for Goebel to face charges.
