BROCKTON, MA — A Randolph woman who was unhappy with the state of her car called a Brockton mechanic a "terrorist" and "ISIS," police said.
Rasheda James, 25, was arrested Friday morning and charged with assault, larceny over $250, civil rights violation and disturbing the peace, according to the Enterprise.
At about 10 a.m. Friday morning, James went to the Belmont Street Shell station to pick up her car. She told police that she noticed damage to the rear fender that was not there when she dropped her car off. The damage led to James allegedly calling a mechanic a terrorist, ISIS, and told him to return to his own country.
