TORONTO - An alleged organizer of a rampage on an occupied police scout car and of a smashing spree in which windows at several Yonge St. businesses were broken will have to wait for bail until at least next week.
Kelly Rose Pflug-Back, 21, of Norwood, is charged with six counts of mischief.
Pflug-Back briefly appeared in the College Park courthouse Thursday wearing a dark-green sweatshirt and a blue jean skirt, and smirking at those in attendance.
She surrendered to police in Peterborough a day earlier.
Pflug-Back blew a kiss to her boyfriend sitting in the courtroom, while lawyers worked out when she'd return for a bail hearing.
She'll be back in court Tuesday.
As guards took her away, she shouted to her boyfriend and friends in the courtroom: "I love you!" Pflug-Back said while guards put her in handcuffs.
Arrested and charged on the Sunday of the G20 summit, she was later freed on bail.
Once police found evidence of her allegedly committing crimes during the Saturday of the G20, they moved to arrest her again, Det.-Sgt. Gary Giroux said.
He said police exhausted every effort to find Pflug-Back, checking with her parents, who were acting as her sureties, and even sending Waterloo Regional Police to her boyfriend's home.
Less than two hours after Giroux went public with the woman's name and photo, she surrendered to police.
They alleged the University of Guelph student is "responsible single-handedly for thousands of dollars of damage."
A Facebook page created by Pflug-Back called for a rally in Peterborough last Saturday to protest the "violent actions of the police during the G20."
"We believe that it's time that Canadians all over the country stood together in solidarity and in support of our common civil rights!" she wrote. "Join us in a public expression of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and community support.
"We are sense of security (S.O.S. PTBO). The people will not be silenced!"
In January, Guelph police charged Pflug-Back with assault after she allegedly disrupted the Olympic torch run as it passed through the city on Dec. 28, 2009.
A group of protesters stopped the run and, during a tussle between the two groups, the torch bearer was knocked to the ground, Guelph police said.
Pflug-Back was rounded up a few days later and charged with assaulting one of the RCMP officers guarding the torch.
She's to be back in court Aug. 3 for the judicial pre-trial.
