ARIZONA BATH & BODY WORKS BECOMES A SLUGFEST BETWEEN CLIENTS, EMPLOYEES
According to a report by Fox 10 Phoenix, the suspects involved were identified as Briana Johnson, 25, and Johlyn O’Daniel, 45.
“The interviews were conducted with witnesses, subjects involved and the surveillance video was analyzed by the police officers who responded,” the SPD told Fox 10 in a statement on Monday. “Based on the evidence, it was determined that the probable cause existed for the prosecution of Johnson and O’Daniel for the contrary infractions of aggression and disorderly conduct.”
A Twitter user who recorded the video claimed that the incident occurred after the woman in the video started arguing with another customer after getting too close. The user added that Bath & Body Works employees tried to lessen the situation, but that the client would not leave, adding that the woman was “noisy and did not cooperate all the time before the fight started”.
Scottsdale Police Department spokesman Sergeant Kevin Quon told Fox News on Sunday that the incident was started because someone cut the line and that “it was not a mask or a racial issue”.
The shooting of the incident begins with a woman fighting with an employee before another employee joins him, knocking the customer to the floor.
The woman shouts, “Let go of me”, while another customer and two other employees rush to intervene. The group can be seen fighting on the floor, shouting at each other and pulling on their hair, before the clerk grabs one of the women and pushes her toward the door, telling them to “Get out now!”
The man then pushes hard on the woman involved in the initial fight towards the door, repeating, “Get out now!”
The woman tells the male employee to stop touching her and says she won’t leave until she picks up the bag before being driven out of the store.
