Bail set at $500,000 for woman arrested in courtroom melee

Bail has been set at $500,000 for a woman who was arrested Thursday for accosting a prosecutor following a guilty verdict in her brother's murder case.

Rose Bernal, 25, was booked Thursday on suspicion of assault on a public official and battery on a police officer. Her brother, Rafael Quiroz, was convicted by a jury moments earlier of second-degree murder in West Valley Superior Court.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department has set Bernal's bail at $500,000. She is being held at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, and she is due in court Monday for an arraignment hearing, according to information on the department's online inmate locator.
