Hillary Clinton's shoe-tossing protester was identified Friday and charged with disorderly conduct.
Alison Michelle Ernst, reportedly of Phoenix, was processed by Las Vegas authorities after federal prosecutors declined to press charges, according to Secret Service spokesman George Oglivie.
Ernst fired the footwear past the former secretary of state's right ear Thursday when Clinton was delivering a speech at a Vegas convention.

Ernst lacked a ticket to the event and managed to slip through a credentialing checkpoint at the Mandalay Bay casino resort, Oglivie said.
Security quickly grabbed Ernst and led her from the room where Clinton was addressing representatives from Scrap Recycling Industries.

The suspect stood passively with her hands in the air once the shoe was in flight.
Authorities said the suspect was wearing sandals, indicating she brought the black and orange shoe specifically to toss at Clinton.
