Your Martin Luther King Jr. weekend may have been fun, maybe you drank a lot, maybe you partied, maybe you just enjoyed the time off of school and/or work. But no way was it as wild as 21 year old Megan Hinds of Indiana University’s MLK jr. day.
The co-ed was on a weekend-long drinking bender (we’ve all been there) and decided it would be a good idea to steal food from sandwich chain ‘Jimmy Johns’, when the cops were called she ended up hitting one in the drunken struggle that proceeded and now faces a felony battery charge.
According to the police statement via IDS News:
“At about 6:30 p.m. officers responded to a call from the sandwich shop at 430 E. Kirkwood Ave. about a woman trying to steal food, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. When officers arrived employees pointed them to Hinds, who was still sitting at a table inside the restaurant and appeared intoxicated.
The employees told police Hinds had come into the store, grabbed a loaf of bread and started eating it without paying. She then started trying to take bags of chips and other items, and when employees tried to stop her, she struck several of them.
When the officers approached Hinds she told one of them she believed he was profiling her because she was white and ugly, Kellams said. The arresting officer was also white, and the backing officer was white with some Hispanic heritage, Kellams said.
Police determined Hinds was intoxicated enough to warrant calling an ambulance, Kellams said. While they waited, Hinds continued to verbally abuse the officers and eventually started striking and scratching them.
The ambulance arrived to take her to IU Health Bloomington Hospital. En route she began striking and scratching one of the ambulance personnel, Kellams said. She arrived at the hospital, and after she was checked out, she was taken to the Monroe County Correctional Center.”
Yikes.
