A 64-year-old white woman was arrested Monday night for harassing two Mexican shoppers for speaking Spanish inside a grocery store in Colorado. The woman was identified after footage of the exchange went viral on social media, according to reports.
The woman, Linda Dwire, was reportedly booked into Garfield County Jail and was charged with two counts of bias-motivated harassment shortly after the video was posted online, according to the Daily Mail. The video clip posted online showed Dwire lecturing the two Mexican women, Fabiola Velasquez and Isabel Marin, in the aisle of a City Market in Rifle, asking them to speak in English as they lived in the United States.
