MOUNT PLEASANT — A mother and daughter from Milwaukee were arrested Saturday after one of them allegedly pepper sprayed multiple employees on April 29 at Potbelly Sandwich Shop, 5910 Washington Ave.

Tamia L. Westbrook, 18, and Laquanda D. Westbrook, 37, both could face three counts of felony intentional use of an Oleoresin device to cause bodily harm, in addition to misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and three counts of battery.

Those charges have been referred to the Racine County District Attorney’s Office.

On the day of the incident, Potbelly General Manager Sara Olson told The Journal Times that a woman (later identified as Laquanda Westbrook) became “a little upset” after her sandwich was made wrong. Upon seeing this, another woman (later identified as Tamia Westbrook) entered the restaurant and pepper sprayed workers and food.

Both women then left the restaurant before police arrived. The restaurant was forced to close for the day because food had been contaminated and several employees had to seek medical attention

1. On the up side, it was just pepper spray

not a gun.

However, I think the two should simply be pepper sprayed themselves.

2. Our country is falling apart.

And our leaders are encouraging it.

4. I just read a group of people went after a mom and son in their home because... Now this. When did

assault become ok to these people?

5. a group of people led by a sheriff's deputy, no less

That was the kicker to the whole thing. A sheriff's deputy led the group of people to the home of the mother and son and broke in while armed. The whole vigilantism thing is getting scary at this point. Trump's worshipers/people seem to think they can do whatever they want to the rest of us right now.

6. They really do think they can do simply anything. Spray mace, break into someones home. Hunt down

and murder.
