Current News Headlines: Racist White Man Shouting Racial Slurs Flees Scene After Hitting Car Of Ohio Black Woman
A man who was caught on video shouting racial slurs at a black woman after a hit-and-run incident early Tuesday morning, has been arrested by Ohio authorities. While confirming the incident Thursday, Alliance Police Department officials said trouble unfolded just after 8 a.m. near Sawburg and State streets in the northeastern Ohio city of Alliance.
“I could feel it in my gut. Something wasn’t right,” Jolean Dailey told local station WKYC. “It’s not like we had any words, any confrontation. He just bumped into me.”
According to Dailey who posted the video of the incident on Facebook, an unnamed man hit her car, then yelled the N-word as he fled the scene. She then followed the man to a nearby parking lot, where, in a separate video, she alleges the man shouted “white (expletive) power” at her.
“He was about to take something out of his glove box, but his girlfriend stopped him,” the woman recalled in her Facebook post. “They took off again, smh. I can’t believe this just happened.”
Dailey’s claims have already been confirmed by officers who say the suspect’s girlfriend told them that the man was trying to retrieve his handgun from the car’s glove compartment before she stepped in.
According to the Canton Rep, police later charged the girlfriend with obstructing official business, a misdemeanor, for switching seats with her boyfriend to make it appear that she was the one driving when Dailey’s vehicle was hit.
Alliance PD officials said the incident is being investigated.
“This guy had so much rage over something that he did,” Dailey said. “It’s like people are taught hate.”
“If people love on each other, then we wouldn’t have this issue,” she added.
Meanwhile, cops say the man faces charges for leaving the scene of an accident.
