- --gun on me. - Get away.
- She got the gun on me.
He about to hit me with the car.
- Call him now.
CHARLIE LANGTON: A confrontation in Lake
Orion at a Chipotle parking lot around 6:00 PM Wednesday night.
- [BLEEP] y'all be out pulling guns out on me.
OK.
Call Richard back up in the police.
CHARLIE LANGTON: Authorities say the incident started when
the white woman was leaving the restaurant
and accidentally bumped into a 15-year-old who then demanded
that the white woman apologize.
The 15-year-old and her mother are Black
and both took video of the encounter.
- [BLEEP]
- --jump behind the car.
- No, I didn't jump behind your car.
What's [BLEEP].
You're having your opinions.
- Get the [BLEEP] back!
- [BLEEP]
CHARLIE LANGTON: The video we're watching now
was taken by the mother as it ended.
This is the video when the incident started,
and that was taken by the daughter.
- She bumped into me when I was walking.
- So if she did something wrong, she needs to apologize.
If she did-- - No one did--
- This ignorant woman-- this ignorant woman
bumped into a 15-year-old.
- She need to apologize, right?
CHARLIE LANGTON: The video has now gone viral.
But was the white woman trying to leave?
- You're blocking me from getting in my car.
- No, we weren't.
No, we weren't.
[HONKING]
No, we weren't.
You're ignorant.
CHARLIE LANGTON: The woman's husband steps in.
- I want you to call the police.
- She's very ignorant.
- Dumb [BLEEP].
Yeah, I said it.
You say something, and I'm gonna beat your white [BLEEP] too.
- Who the [BLEEP] do you think you guys are?
- Who do you think you are?
- Who do you-- and you're white-- think you are?
- You calling her names?
She did nothing to you.
- I didn't. - She asked you to apologize.
Go ahead, Kayla. - I watched it.
- No, you didn't.
- I care about you.
- Why didn't you say sorry?
- I'm sorry if you've had an incident that has made someone
make you feel like that.
- If you bumped into her, why didn't you say sorry?
- No one is racist.
CHARLIE LANGTON: And then it appears
that the Black woman stepped behind the car
and may have even hit the car.
[THUMP]
- Oh!
- Get your [BLEEP] hands-- what the [BLEEP]!!
- Get the [BLEEP] away from me!
- Get out of my-- get out of her face!
- You got to get out of my [BLEEP] right now.
Get away. [BLEEP]
- Get the [BLEEP] away.
Get the [BLEEP] away.
- Are you going to shoot me?
- Get the [BLEEP] away.
- Oh.
CHARLIE LANGTON: On Thursday afternoon,
Sheriff Michael Bouchard announces
felonious assault charges against the white woman
with a gun and her husband.
MICHAEL BOUCHARD: They have charged
both the driver and the passenger
with felonious assault, a four year felony.
CHARLIE LANGTON: Even the Sheriff says there
are two sides to the story.
MICHAEL BOUCHARD: They were presented with two
very different stories.
- An argument can be made--
a rather strong argument can be made--
that she was in danger.
She felt in danger.
CHARLIE LANGTON: Which would justify the use of the gun,
perhaps.
However--
- Is it ever justified to take a gun
to respond to a verbal assault?
- Absolutely not.
- It's about what it--
- Absolutely not.
- Is that what happened here?
- We don't know the full story, Charlie.
I don't believe so.
CHARLIE LANGTON: Both husband and wife are in custody.
No court date has been set.
