CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati man is recovering after half of his face was fractured during an argument inside a gas station over a face mask Sunday night. One woman now stands charged in the assault, but the victims said they hope other suspects involved will see justice.
Steven Long and James Saylor told WCPO they were assaulted inside a Bond Hill Thornton’s gas station on Reading Road, and it all started over a question about a face mask.
“I was just in complete, utter shock,” Long said.
Long told WCPO he stepped up to the counter to pay, but first asked the clerk a question.
“I asked the clerk, ‘Are you not enforcing the mask rule anymore?’ This woman turned around with some explicit language, and smacked me right in the face,” Long said.
That’s when Saylor said the woman began throwing soda cans, food and fruit at the pair.
“Then she goes to display signs. She’s tearing up the store,” he said.
According to a police report of the incident, 31-year-old Tra’chell Bonner was upset Long asked about mask enforcement.
“She was kicking me in the chest. I’ve never seen, or experienced anything like this,” Long said. That’s when he called 911.
“She has (Saylor) in the corner by the ATM, biting him. I’m trying to get her off of him. I didn’t realize she still has him in her mouth,” he said.
The Cincinnati Police report describes Bonner grabbing a metal sign and hitting Saylor before other suspects got involved. WCPO has requested security footage and 911 calls for the incident.
“They’re stomping all over my body. Intentionally stomping on my head. As soon as the police get there, they scatter. Run. Right past the police, get in their car and leave.”

Sure that’s not a dude?

Massive law suit against the company that owns the store. Fight back.

So the white guy karens got a quick painful lesson from the black girl
All this for a Mask? She belongs in a Zoo.
**I noticed the outside sign; Gasoline only $2.09 a gallon!
And here I am paying at least $3.49 for the same thing.
The store owners are liable for not having Security Guards?
Same question!
He just learned to mind his own business.
Another soy-boy Karen wannabe.
Nope. I believe that is Michelle Obama.
Tra’chell
Another name pulled from the scrabble box?
This is one weird article.
So the two guys are Karens? They are the ones who asked if the store was not enforcing the mask law.
I’m assuming (bad thing) they were wearing masks and she wasn’t?
Why is it the store’s responsibility to enforce a non enforceable law?
Just weird...
“So the white guy karens got a quick painful lesson from the black girl”
That’s what I was thinking. Of course, it’s a poorly story article. I think journalism school is only about two weeks long now days.
$1.73 closest station to me here in Columbus, GA. I escaped ripoffornia’s high prices 3 years ago.
Sounds like a limp wristed democrat. Oh well.
“So the white guy Karens got a quick painful lesson from the black girl”
Good for her!
>> And here I am paying at least $3.49 [per gallon] for the same thing.
Where are you, Lee - amongst the Californicators? Just filled up in Central Florida for $1.86.9/gallon.
