Police report filed in case of woman in viral video coughing on cancer patient at store

The woman reportedly seen in a viral video intentionally coughing into the face of Jacksonville cancer patient has been identified in a police report obtained by First Coast News.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was able to identify Debra Hunter, 52, of Fernandina Beach as the aggressor in a video that quickly made the rounds online.

In the video, Hunter can be seen at a cash register of the Pier 1 store at the St. Johns Town Center being verbally abusive to an employee.

Hunter then spots the victim taking the video, flicks her the bird and then walks up and coughs directly in her face.

According to the police report, the reported offense is "Battery -- touch or strike, no injury." Debra Hunter was not arrested, and is listed as "at large" in the report. Heather Sprague says she was the one filming that day and told First Coast News the recording served a purpose, to help deter people from this kind of public behavior. She did not immediately file a police report saying she "didn't want to make a knee jerk reaction and call police."

Sprague says she is a brain tumor patient and has a compromised immune system, also told police she hasn't been feeling well since the incident.

“I wanted her to know she was being held accountable for her actions," she explained in her original Facebook post. "It only took her to decide she was done and to leave the store, which really was the goal."

From another source:

"After the agitated shopper noticed she was being filmed, she is seen giving Sprague the finger with both hands.

“I think I”ll get real close to you. How about that?” she snipes, walking toward the camera. The woman then coughs in Sprague’s face."

Some shouldn’t be allowed to breed. She’s teaching her kids to behave just like her.

You know she spent her high school years posed just like that. Hasn’t grown up since.

If this skank coughed in my wifes face, who is a cancer patient, she would be eating through a straw.

Honest question. Has it crossed anyone’s minds - even for a millisecond -the thought of why in the world someone with cancer would be shopping at Pier 1 in the midst of a pandemic in likely the most infected U.S. state when she is easily in the highest risk category?

Really. When my friend had cancer and was going through treatment she was so vulnerable that she went NOWHERE. The immune system is nonexistent. Still, it didn’t save her. :(

I’m sincerely sorry to hear about your friend. What is so essential that one with cancer would need to buy at Pier 1? Not to mention you can but anything there on-line.

True. I don’t think I’d risk my life for Pier One. Maybe a quilt shop, but not Pier One.

Geeze. Settle. Down. Chief. I’m sorry I don’t swallow everything the media says. Feel free to do it. Might want to consider dropping the GD from your verbal arsenal though.
