users are in an uproar after a North Texas woman was caught on video in a racist tirade, insulting and physically assaulting a group of other women because they spoke with Indian accents.
Authorities arrested Upton Thursday afternoon on one charge of assault bodily injury and another of terroristic threats, according to a Plano Police Department statement. The suspect is now being held on a $10,000 bond, and detectives are investigating the incident as a potential hate crime, the department also said, noting that more charges may be forthcoming.
In the clip, one of the women targeted in Upton's tirade asks why she's harassing them after Upton identified herself as being a Latina. Upton fires back that things are different for her because she was born in the United States.
