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.

We don’t consider Crown Pointe to be Indiana either. It’s basically South Chicago. The politicians up there are leftists and the people moving there are escaping from Crook County.

https://www.kabalarians.com/name-meaning/names/f/Tanchanta.htm

The name of Tanchanta has given you the desire for creative,
artistic or musical expression in an original way.

You strive to be different and have the self-confidence to
implement your ideas because you have the perseverance
necessary to see something through, despite obstacles.

Although you meet new people easily, it is not easy for you
to maintain a relaxed, harmonious relationship.

With increased familiarity you are inclined to speak your
mind in a forthright, sometimes argumentative manner which
creates annoyance and often hard feelings.

In an argument, you usually emerge victor, but at a cost.

This name does not offer the softness of expression for long-lasting compatibility in close associations.

Around here the Dollar Tree is usually in a shopping center whereas the Dollar General is standalone in a neighborhood.

It’s impressive how many liquor stores, tobacco stores, fireworks stores, and gun stores there are adjacent to the Illinois border. Their tax policies are a big economic bonus for Indiana.

Excellent site! I am Rumchata Horchata

Rumchata [edit/add name]

This name of Rumchata creates a mind that is analytical and exacting. You yearn for new experiences and the freedom to pursue your ideas without interference from others. You have an urge to break out of your rut, but even when making changes, you eventually end up facing the same challenges of hard work, monotony, and routine.

This name limits your opportunities and restricts your freedom of expression causing frustration and mental turmoil. While your name inclines you to be clever in technical skills or mathematical lines of endeavour where concentrated effort and attention to detail are essential, it does not allow a proper outlet for your creative ideas.

The Horchata family are refined, diplomatic, and cosmopolitan, and have strong people skills. They try hard to make a good impression in their circle of friends and associates. Because they are even tempered with a pleasing personality, they are usually well liked. They realize the value of having the right contacts, are drawn to people with money and influence, and are inclined to judge others by their material accomplishments. They are ambitious, and have a taste for luxury and comforts, but financial success is often undermined by lack of confidence and initiative. If their desires are beyond their means, they may be tempted to seek an easy way to gain financially or by using their considerable charms to have others provide for them.”

“Looks like Ghetto, and Trailer Trash to me.”

Can you imagine if they actually had trailer parks IN the hood?

So, I did as suggested, and found “Tan’Chanta GodsendmeanAngel Hopkins”. I do not have an account, so I did not get much further. It is just as well: That middle name she cooked up was probably supposed to mean “God, send me an Angel”, but it also could be “God send mean Angel”.
