A Columbia woman is free after an attack at the local Planned Parenthood this morning.
42-year-old Alexis Keiser violated a restraining order against the business for the second time Wednesday, causing considerable damage and injuring staff.
Keiser was released on a summons.
The woman entered the Planned Parenthood behind a staff member coming to work.
There are cameras in place along with other measures including security staff. After Wednesday's incident, security at the Columbia location will be tightened.
Keiser went unnoticed until she started throwing tables and chairs, ransacking clinic rooms and destroying medical equipment. Three staff members restrained her until police arrived. Two patients were asked to come back later and the clinic carried on business as usual.
Keiser is a frequent protestor and has continued to cause problems over the past year. ABC 17 has learned she spent time as a patient at Mid-Missouri Mental Health earlier this year.
Keiser faces charges for property damage, assault and trespassing.
