The Los Angeles Police Department identified a Black woman, Renee Latrice Hines, who allegedly went on a rampage after a taco vendor asked her to pay for her order. The incident was caught on video by a bystander, showing Hines attacking Joanna Vasquez, the worker at the Ortiz Tacos stand.
Vasquez described the incident as Hines “going HAM” on her. She said that Hines punched and pepper sprayed her when she asked her to pay for the tacos, and even grabbed her hair and threw a sign at a bystander who tried to record the scene.
The incident quickly went viral, with many people disagreeing with Hines’s actions. People took to social media to express their outrage, with many speaking up for the taco vendors who were just trying to make a living. One user named foxyroxhair said that Hines should be sent to jail for her actions.
The incident also led to more serious consequences for Hines - one comment on social media alleges that Hines was fired from her job after the incident made headlines.
Finally, the LAPD arrested Hines and she is being held on a bail of $30,000. It remains to be seen what the legal outcomes of this incident will be.
