Woman charged with assault after deliberately harming another person

A 52-year-old woman from Jacksonville was recently arrested with assault charges after being caught in cam, deliberately coughing on another person's face.

On June 25, at a Pier 1 store in Florida, the suspect named Debra Hunter coughed on the face of Heather Sprague. It was caught on camera by Sprague herself. In the viral video, it was seen that Debra looks pissed while standing up at the front of the cashier counter.

She was then speaking directly at Sprague in an inaudible sound. Debra even showed a dirty finger against the woman taking the video.

As narrated by Sprague, Debra was complaining to the cashier about returning a certain item that was said to be not in her possession. When the victim heard about the issue, she got her smartphone and decided to video what's happening.

When Debra found her taking video, she walked straight to Sprague and intentionally coughed in front of her face. Upon doing this, she said to Sprague, "I think I'll get closer to you and cough on you." Since she was a white middle-aged woman, most of the people call her 'Karen' for having that attitude against Sprague.

Worse, the suspect was not even wearing any face mask or covering. After this, she decided to leave the store along with the two children that joined her.

It turns out, Sprague was actually sick. The victim was diagnosed with a brain tumor which also means that she has a weaker immune system. In times of Coronavirus pandemic, this was not what she expected in getting some items in the Pier 1 store.

Woman gets charged with assault

After the incident, Sprague filed a report against the woman in the Duval County court. After almost a month, Debra was arrested on July 22.

However, the New Jersey native was immediately released on a $753 bond and set to have a formal court appearance on Aug. 19.

So far, Sprague told her friends on Facebook that she will soon test for Coronavirus in order to know whether she got infected or not.
