CROWN POINT — Criminal charges officially have been filed against two women accused of causing hundreds of dollars in damage during a fight caught on video inside a Hobart Dollar General.
A case against Tanchanta Hopkins, 28, of Hobart, was filed Thursday in Hobart City Court,(snip)
Julie Ortiz, 45, of Hobart, was charged last week (snip)
The woman began fighting after Ortiz intervened as Hopkins was arguing with another customer, records state.
Hopkins allegedly told police Ortiz stood "breast to breast" with her, and she felt threatened because of Ortiz's size, so she grabbed Ortiz by the hair to "take her down," records state.
Ortiz told police she had a mentally disabled family member with her, whom she thought she was protecting.
She wanted Hopkins to quiet down, but she blacked out with anger when Hopkins hit her and didn't recall everything that happened, records state.
Someone in the store recorded the fight and posted it to social media.
The video showed Hopkins cursing while punching Ortiz as she was on the ground. At one point, Hopkins backed up, attempted to hit Ortiz with an umbrella and fell down after Ortiz kicked her, records state.
Ortiz then stood up and began to re-engage Hopkins, pushing Hopkins into a display rack and knocking it over, records state. Hopkins threw a metal rack at Ortiz, who got behind Hopkins and placed an arm around her neck.
Ortiz pushed Hopkins out of the store and threw an object at her, and Hopkins threw a bottle of hand sanitizer at Ortiz, records state.
As she walked away, Hopkins pulled down her pants and slapped her own buttocks as store employees looked on, records allege. She later told police she slapped herself because "the devil had taken control over her actions," records state.

“Tanchanta” left no doubt.
Apologizing for my state but it is Chicagoland area.
Looks like Ghetto, and Trailer Trash to me.
Yep. Look like typical DG denizens we have at ours. Man, some rough looking customers come in there, and that’s probably country-wide.
“he woman began fighting after Ortiz intervened as Hopkins was arguing with another customer, records state.

“Ortiz told police she had a mentally disabled family member with her, whom she thought she was protecting.”
So Hopkins was apparently taking a mentally disabled person to task for some unknown reason.
the one chick was so far half her butt was hanging out when she was fighting. they had to blur it out
Hopkins was heard to say “she ain’t nothin’ but a ho’”.

They broke hundreds of $1 items.
Is it gonna be on pay-per-view?
“Tanchanta”
Well, that’s a new one to me.
Headline says “2 women charged with trading blows”.
Umm....Is that possible?//
Where in the world do they come up with those names? SMH
Get your mind out of the gutter so I can float by! :-)
Let the record show this is NOT Florida.
Thank God is was a Dollar General. I do my shopping at Dollar Tree which is a much better shopping experience.
I am sure Florida man was close by.
I am seeing more and more listings of altercations (abuse, physical, and sexual) in both our police and sherriff weekly reports these days.
If nothing else, he was there in spirit.
I agree. Even though the Dollar Tree is cheaper overall, it seems to attract a better class of clientele than Dollar General.
