Photograph article dated August 7, 1963 partially reads, "A San Fernando mother of four staged a one-woman assault on the San Fernando police station Tuesday night, officers reported. Mrs. Harriet Diane Medina, about 25, 707 Kalisher St., allegedly attacked the police station last night, hurling empty beer and wine bottles through the station house windows and plate glass doors...
