A University of Louisiana at Lafayette student faces a criminal mischief charge for allegedly fabricating a story about being attacked near campus Wednesday by two men who yelled ethnic slurs and then stole her wallet and hijab head covering.
Khadija Altamimi, 18, was issued a misdemeanor summons for a violation of the city's criminal mischief law, which carries a penalty of up to $500 and 30 days in jail, according to Lafayette Police records released Friday.
She was not booked on the charge, and no court date had been set.
Altamimi could not be reached for comment on Friday.
News of the attack went viral after the University of Louisiana at Lafayette sent out an e-mail to students Wednesday evening with a description of the suspects that stated one was wearing a white "Trump" hat.
Lafayette Police announced Thursday that the student had made up the story, though no explanation was offered why she did.
The student's claim of being attacked was reported online Thursday morning by almost every major news organization in Louisiana and several national news outlets.
If Khadija Altamimi is not a US Citizen and is here on a Student Visa, then she should have her visa revoked and be expelled from this country.
Fake “hate crimes” should receive as severe a penalty as real “hate crimes”.
Public apology in writing, community service, monetary restitution.
+1.
Doh!
“The hoax went national as a story. Will the fact it was a LIE?”
Don’t count on it.
She should be sentenced to make an appointment with the head of every news agency along with a Trump representative where they can explain how it was a hoax and ask that news agency to give exactly the same coverage time to the hoax story. If they don’t, Trump can announce that this particular news agency is rigged and offer this situation as proof.
Would those be white lashes?
We need to know if there was any collusion with some nefarious group(s) so we can investigate any connection with other such claims.
Show her picture and broadcast the fact she LIED.
well, no, but there should be a penalty.
No! This is the stuff that people should be deported for doing. Her whole family.
When is this lying scumbag going to address the REAL bullying?
The Democrat Thug Party.
Book her.
This stuff has to stop.
It should be done immediately. There must be some
procedure put in place so that the states can protest to and
recommend to the federal government that certain
foreign visitors be sent back to where they came from if
these persons start causing trouble or engage in political
activities. I bet that this kid even tried to vote Nov. 8th.
I wouldn't be surprised.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit she voted.
Under shariah, her tongue would be cut out.
