Mohawked Woman Accused of Beating Man with Bat in Inverness Pleads Not Guilty

A woman has pleaded guilty to attempted murder and a host of other charges related to a bizarre incident on March 11 at an Inverness Park home where deputies had found 700 marijuana plants growing.

Kelsey Lin Winterkorn, 26, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder, residential burglary and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Those charges stem from a crazy incident in which she beat her housemate Sasan Dresden with a baseball bat as he slept on the morning at their Inverness Park home of March 11 and then followed him in her orange "Biohazard Battlecruiser" van repeatedly ramming the vehicle in which he was traveling to the hospital to seek medical attention.

The two roommates arrived at the hospital where the victim was treated for his injuries, Marin County Sheriff's Lt. Doug Pittman said.

Winterkorn, a freelance photographer who sports a blonde-tipped mohawk, is being held on $500,000 bail and scheduled to be back in court for a preliminary hearing on June 27.

Though Winterkorn or her two roommates are not facing any drug charges, law enforcement officials said they found approximately 700 marijuana plants growing on the Redwood Avenue property where they lived.

Winterkorn was arrested in Guerneville 15 hours after the incident.
