Racist white woman is charged after hurling n-word at boy, 8, who'd taken pouch of applesauce from her bag: Raised $800k in donations after
MINNESOTA - A woman who went viral earlier this year for hurling racist slurs at an eight-year-old boy who had allegedly taken apple sauce from her bag in Minnesota has been charged.
Shiloh Hendrix, 36, was filmed at Soldiers Field Memorial Park on April 28 by a man confronting her for allegedly calling a young black boy the 'N-word.'
While holding her toddler, Hendrix made no denial of the accusations and instead responded, 'If that's what he's gonna act like,' before repeating the slur toward the man filming and making an obscene gesture.
Now, the City of Rochester announced in a press release that Hendrix has been charged with three counts of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor charge with a maximum of 90 days in jail.
If found guilty, Hendrix may also face an $1,000 fine in addition to a jail sentence. She set up a crowd funding website which raised $800,000 in the wake of the attack, with some of that money likely now set to pay her lawyer's fees.
The complaint stated that Hendrix 'wrongfully and unlawfully engaged in offensive … or abusive language that would reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.'
Mayor Kim Norton said in the release that the incident 'deeply affected many people, especially our communities of color, and caused real turmoil in our community.'
'We acknowledge the lasting impact this incident has had, not only on those directly involved and across our community, but also in the broader conversations happening at the state and national level,' Norton added.
