The Ontario Provincial Police say a 48-year-old Norfolk County woman has been charged after throwing a "full cup of hot tea in an officer's face."

They say the woman was pulled over after allegedly being clocked at more than three times the speeding limit in Brant County.

Police issued a press release Friday saying the 48-year-old woman was driving a grey 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo on Nov. 18 when she was pulled over.

OPP say the woman is charged with racing and assaulting police contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.

She is to appear in court in Brantford to face the charges.
