Store Clerk Arrested, Charged After Throwing Bucket Of Water On Homeless Woman

A store clerk was arrested and charged after she threw a bucket of water at a homeless woman in Baton Rouge, Lousiana during the Christmas weekend.

Kasey Weber, a 33-year-old cashier from the Triple S Food Mart, a convenience store in Baton Rouge, reportedly approached another woman in the store's trash-strewn parking lot when temperatures dipped into the 20s. As she approached the woman, Weber began yelling at the woman, People reported.

"Move! Not telling y'all again. Move it!"

She was then recorded on video throwing a bucket of water in the face of the woman. The video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.

Following the incident, the Baton Rouge mayor's office released a statement about the attack, saying the woman who appears to be homeless has since received community services.

"An incident over the holiday weekend involving a person who appears to be homeless has caught the attention of our community," the statement read.

"In this case, several community partners worked together to locate the individual, bring them to the Bridge Center and connect them with additional services."

Since the video of the merciless incident went viral online, Weber was arrested and fired from her job. In her defense, she reportedly told the store owner that she threw water on the homeless woman to get her and other homeless people to stop loitering outside of the store, KSLA News 12 reported.

Information regarding whether Weber has entered a plea to the charge or retained an attorney to speak on her behalf is currently unclear.

Weber reportedly has a long history of shoplifting and has been caught red-handed with sticky fingers at Walmart, Albertson’s, and Best Buy in East Baton Rouge Parish. She’s also been charged with theft in neighboring Livingston Parish six different times since 2014.

She was sentenced to six months in parish prison after she was caught stealing merchandise from a Best Buy store on Millerville Drive in Baton Rouge in 2015.

In 2014, she was arrested three times for shoplifting across East Baton Rouge Parish. In one of those cases, she punched an undercover loss-prevention worker for trying to stop her from leaving an Albertson’s grocery store with a buggy she had loaded up with nearly $750 worth of stolen groceries. She was charged with battery and shoplifting and was sentenced to a 90-day stay in parish prison.

In another case that year, she was caught shoplifting with a male accomplice outside of a Walmart store with a buggy containing four cases of stolen Bud Light beer, three pairs of men’s work boots, and one roll of paper towels. That incident also got her a 90-day sentence in parish prison.
