Game of Thrones GIF Leads to Arrest | Mesa News
Description
A woman in Tucson is suing Tempe after being arrested over a Game of Thrones GIF—showing Cersei Lannister watching an explosion—deemed a threat by city officials. The arrest shattered her career, reputation, and mental health, leading to eight legal claims including constitutional violations and defamation. Though Maricopa County declined to prosecute, the county attorney said Tempe’s actions still might be wrong under their standards. Tempe insists they acted properly and will fight the lawsuit in court, turning a meme into a federal legal showdown.
