A Texas woman faces a hate crime charge after allegedly attacking a ‘queer’ couple earlier this year.
Evan Berryhill-Jewell was arrested on assault charges Monday, San Angelo police told The Advocate, according to New York Daily News. Berryhill-Jewell is the owner of Texas Angels Boutique, which is listed online as a women's clothing store.
She was reportedly released after posting $1,000 bond, according to Tom Green County Jail administrator Maj. Todd Allen, even though the sheriff's office website doesn't list a bond.
"In April, a video that showed a woman getting into an altercation with a queer couple quickly went viral," New York Daily News reported.
