A woman who said she had information helpful to lawyers defending James Eagan Holmes disrupted the hearing about whether to unseal the files in the murder case this afternoon.

According to two people wounded when Holmes allegedly opened fire in the Century Aurora 16 theater July 20, the woman was wearing a tight red dress and had shaved her head.

When she stood up in the courtroom and began talking, the judge told her not to interrupt court and then she was escorted out by Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputies.

Chris Townson said the woman’s behavior fightened him.

“I had a little flashback action,” he said. “It scared me. It was a bad place to have a sudden outburst. I felt not safe.”

Townson and his girlfriend, Carli Richards, who has 22 buckshot wounds to her body, said they probably will attend future hearings in the case only if he receives a subpoena.

After the woman was removed from the courtroom, she was allowed to retrieve a computer bag she had left near the media holding area and then taken away by deputies.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said the 37-year-old woman was was briefly detained, but was released without being charged. He declined to identify her, but said she was from Tucson, Ariz.

A TV reporter who spoke to her before the hearing began said the woman talked about a conspiracy dating to 1956 and a blazing light that surrounded Holmes when he allegedly opened the back door of the theater on July 20.
