Police can't find white woman in racist rant that went viral

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nov 1, 2018, 8:17 AM ET

Police in North Carolina say they can't find the white woman recorded threatening her black neighbors while they waited for AAA.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police tell news outlets they attempted to serve a warrant Tuesday on 51-year-old Susan Westwood for misusing 911. Criminal summons for communicating threats and simple assault were issued last week.

And now police have released audio from the 911 calls . Leisa and Mary Garris called twice to report harassment. Westwood called 911 as well, telling the dispatcher she would pay $2,500 "to get them out of here."

Westwood has since been fired from the $125,000-per-year job she boasted about while the sisters recorded the encounter.

The sisters' attorney Michael Phillips says the apartment complex has agreed to initiate a process of evicting Westwood.

Behave like a racist piece of trash, and someone is going to film you. Most people these days, I'd say, have a phone capable of recording your hate. Then, the person or persons who record you are going to put your hate on the internet for millions to see. When the recording goes on the internet, it is there permanently. Your boss is going to find out about your hateful behavior. Your landlord is going to find out about your hateful behavior. There are going to be consequences like job loss and eviction.

* publicly shamed as a racist
* lost her job, and probably her health insurance along with it
* losing her housing
* possibly liable for civil and criminal penalties
* not super-stable to begin with -- is she off her meds?

this all adds up to a serious suicide risk, imho. she will likely go to her grave blaming the people she threatened for ruining her life.
