ARIZONA BATH & BODY WORKS TURNS INTO SLUGFEST BETWEEN CUSTOMER, EMPLOYEES

According to a report by Fox 10 Phoenix, the suspects, who were both customers, were identified as 25-year-old Briana Johnson and her 45-year-old mother-in-law Johlyn O'Daniel. 

"Interviews were conducted with witnesses, involved subjects and surveillance video was reviewed by the responding officers," The SPD said in a statement Monday. "Based on the evidence it was determined probable cause existed for the charging of Johnson and O’Daniel for the misdemeanor offenses of Assault and Disorderly Conduct." 

A Twitter user who captured the incident on video claimed it was started after an argument between two customers, where one had allegedly accused the other of standing too close. The user added that the Bath & Body Works employees tried to de-escalate the situation but that the customer wouldn't leave, adding that the woman was "loud and uncooperative the whole time before the fight started."

According to TMZ, another video of the incident shot at a different angle reportedly shows that the customer involved was arguing with an African American woman before the fight took place and that politically charged language was used.

Scottsdale Police Department spokesperson Sergeant Kevin Quon told Fox News on Sunday that the fight was started over someone cutting in line and that it was "not mask nor race related." 

Footage of the incident begins with a woman fighting with a female employee, before another employee joins in, tackling the customer to the ground. 

The woman shouts, "Let go of me" as another customer and two other staffers rush over to intervene. The group can be seen fighting on the ground, screaming at each other and pulling hair, before the male staffer grabs one of the women and pushes her toward the door, telling them to "Get out now!"

The man then forcibly pushes the woman involved in the initial tussle toward the door, repeating: "Out now!"

The woman tells the male staffer to stop touching her and says she isn't leaving until she gets her purse, before being ushered out of the store.

As of Monday evening, the video had over 200,000 likes and 34,000 retweets. The video has been viewed over 10.8 million times.
