A woman was taken into federal custody Thursday after throwing a shoe at Hillary Clinton as the former Secretary of State began a Las Vegas convention keynote speech.

　　The incident happened moments after Clinton took the stage before an Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries meeting at the Mandalay Bay resort.

　　Clinton ducked, and she did not appear to be hit by the object. She then joked about it.

　　Is that somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque de Soleil? Clinton quipped.

　　Many in the audience of more than 1,000 people in a large ballroom laughed and applauded as Clinton resumed her speech.

　　My goodness, I didnt know that solid waste management was so controversial, Clinton said. Thank goodness she didnt play softball like I did.

　　Brian Spellacy, U.S. Secret Service supervisory special agent in Las Vegas, said the woman was being questioned and would face criminal charges. Spellacy declined to identify the woman, and he said it wasnt immediately clear what the charges would be.

　　A black and orange shoe was recovered from the stage, Spellacy said.

　　Ilene Rosen, the wife of a conventioneer from Denver who was seated in the second row, said she saw an orange object fly toward the stage from a side aisle and papers fluttering in the air.
