Wendy Bruck Charged With Disturbing and Resisting. Jailed.
DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — An 84-year-old Delray Beach woman left last week’s packed Agricultural Reserve meeting in handcuffs. She’s now charged with disturbing a lawful assembly and resisting a deputy.
Wendy Ward Bruck was arrested around 9:30 a.m. Oct. 2 at the county facility at 16700 S. Jog Road, where Palm Beach County Commissioner Maria Sachs held an information session that turned into an angry display of apparently Anti-Islamic sentiment — largely from Jewish members of the West Delray Beach and West Boca Raton community. We reported on the meeting here.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, a deputy working security inside the building was told to walk Bruck out because she was disrupting the meeting. At the exit, the report says, she refused to cooperate, refused to leave and tried to draw media attention after being asked several times to go. The deputy handcuffed her and put her in a marked patrol car. She was booked into jail and later released on $2,000 bond.
Bruck faces two misdemeanors: disturbing a lawful assembly and resisting an officer without violence. The report doesn’t say what she said or did inside the room and our video from the Palm Beach County feed of the video did not seem to show Ms. Brock’s alleged actions. It does say the whole encounter was captured on the deputy’s body camera.
