A grandmother with a heart condition who had welcomed Freedom Convoy protesters at her border home, has told how she was violently arrested and jailed in a dramatic police raid.

Joanne Person, 62, said she was in her pajamas falling asleep when Canadian Mounties stormed into her house in Coutts, Alberta, just after midnight Valentine's Day and hauled her off to jail along with 10 other people she was hosting near the border blockade.

Back home after two nights behind bars, the substitute teacher spoke exclusively with DailyMail.com Thursday, describing the horror of being slammed on to a car hood with arms cuffed behind her back, then deprived of her medication in a concrete cell smeared with feces.

She now bears the evidence of being roughly manhandled on her swollen wrist and knuckles, seen in exclusive DailyMail.com photos.

Person now fears a much longer return to jail after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) linked her to an alleged plot to kill cops, seizing a heavy cache of weapons from her property and charging four others with conspiracy to commit murder.

'All I did was try to be a humanitarian,' said Person, who had hosted an array of protesters, including two trailers parked on her yard, just a quarter mile from a border bridge that crosses into Montana....

In announcing the arrests Monday, RCMP described the group as a heavily armed criminal organization which was preparing to use force against police if any attempts were made to disrupt the blockade.

It released a photo of a large weapons cache, stating they'd recovered 13 long guns, handguns, multiple sets of body armor, a machete, a large amount of ammunition and high-capacity magazines....

Person said her gun wasn't included in the RCMP photo, which she found odd.

She also questioned whether cops had found any of the guns at her property, suspecting it was a 'false flag' operation to discredit Freedom Convoy demonstrators to undermine the ongoing protests over Canada's COVID restrictions.

'I don't trust the police not to lie,' Person said. 'They tried to tell me I've got 16 guns in my home. I don't think for one minute they found those guns here.'...

'The development with weapons and the personal armor was not associated with us, and to keep that distance we decided to leave peacefully,' Marco Van Huigenbos, one of the Convoy's organizers, said in announcing the decision Tuesday.

On Thursday, Van Huigenbos stopped by Person's home to hear her account.

He too raised doubts about the official version of events.

Guns are easily traced. If the Mounties planted 'a large cache' of guns, her attorneys should be able to find a common nexus in their histories.

Wow, so 13 guns is a "large weapons cache"?

If grandma is telling the truth that those were not her guns, then a few months from now the charges are quietly dropped or reduced due to an 'error.'

Right now Trudeau is simply trying to manage the narrative that the truckers are Antifa less the masks.
