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.

re: “hoodrats/Middle East” ....the M.E. is a huge draw for that crowd though! Don’t understand it myself, but for the females especially.

Girls like that “vacation” in places like Dubai, in hopes of getting a rich sugar-daddy.

She’s too stupid to realize that acting like an entitled black woman doesn’t work in the Muslim world.

My guess is it wasn’t the screaming that got her in trouble. It was that she was female screaming at a man.

Worse. She was an infidel screaming at a Muslim man in a Muslim country. She's lucky she's still alive.
