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.

When I saw it was about two women fighting with racks I thought this might be interesting, but those two faces could stop a clock . . .

Oh, golly, the vid I saw doesn’t blur anything. (No, I’m not going to post the link.) The audio is whacky too; one can hear the store clerk (young fellow) say “Hey, watch out for the old man!” and slightly later “Just another day at the Dollar Store...”

I suspect both women came from a Jimmy Castor tune.

If these two broads were smart they’d do a PPV mud wrestle match. Id pay 10 bucks to watch.

I been thinking lately about the plethora of court shows around. Why is it whenever they have a pretty girl involved in a case, the show is either stupid or not the least bit interesting?

“Have a look at Tanchanta’s FB page.”

I’m almost speechless. Looks as though English is her second language.

Clearly two fine ladies who went to Charm School.

It’s a battle of the times. Who will win the battle of the trailers vs the ghetto. Tune in to Pay per view at 129.00 to see the results.
