American Woman Detained And Charged In Dubai For Screaming In Public, Faces Jail Time

Screaming in public may be common in the U.S., but it’s a much different story in Dubai. Unfortunately, Tierra Young Allen learned that the hard way. After attempting to retrieve personal items left in a rental car, the San Diego native was detained and charged with “screaming in public.” She’s been stuck in the United Arab Emirates for two months, and her family is terrified about her future.

According to Fox 26, Allen was in a friend’s rental car when they got into an accident in Dubai. Allen’s mother, Tina Baxter, said her daughter went to the rental car company to get her ID, credit card and other items left in the rental after the accident. That’s when things escalated.

“She found out she could only receive those items if she paid an undisclosed amount of money. She dealt with a very aggressive individual a young man there who was screaming at her,” she told Fox 26, adding that led her 29-year-old daughter to raise her voice.

Authorities in Dubai have taken Allen’s passport and placed her under a travel ban while investigating the incident.

Baxter said the situation is “frightening,” and as time goes on, Allen is beginning to realize the severity of her situation.

“The longer she’s been there the more reality has started to kick in,” she told Fox 26.

Allen has an attorney in Dubai, who has notified her she may be sentenced to jail time thanks to a video of the incident.

Allen is a "TikTok Influencer", who should have done her homework before going to a strange land.

Dunno about that, but anytime you are in a strange land, they have different rules than you do. You need to be aware of what they are.

That’s all right. Quantrell X is on top of the matter. He’ll straighten those racist Muslims out.

Other nations still enforce societal norms we used to enforce. Screaming and behaving badly in public used to carry consequences here, too.

Pretty uppity for a guest in a foreign country. She has what is known as Griner's Syndrome.

Hoodrat does not go over in the Middle East, or any Muslim nation for that matter.

In a sane world the cops would have arrested the crook running the rent-a-car scam.

No pics, but I’m guessing she is a black lady. That website Blavity specializes in stuff black folks get into.
Plus, so called Community Activist Quanell X is coming to her aid, or planning to. He only helps black people about 95% of the time. Some have described him as a race baiter and a local nuisance.
It takes a long time just to travel from the US to Dubai.
Most people learn before arriving there about their very strict rules on dress and behavior. Where did she think she was going? Toronto?

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
When in Dubai, do as the Dubains do.

Pretty simple, eh?
