New video emerges from neighbor of woman who spewed hatred rant
EAGLE ROCK, Calif. - More video has emerged showing the woman who spewed hatred at a CVS store in the Eagle Rock neighborhood.
In the new video, she went after her neighbors. The woman has been identified as Heather Patton.
She was caught Tuesday on video jumping up and down screaming racist rants while she was exiting the store, turning back to the camera a couple times to continue her rant.
On Thursday, FOX 11 knocked on her door in the Mt. Washington area of Los Angeles to get her side of the story. No one answered immediately, but later Patton emerged from her home.
When she spotted our cameras, she gave our reporter Susan Hirasuna the middle finger, mouthing expletives inside the car with her windows up.
Hirasuna said to Patton, “I’ve got a microphone. You’re more than welcome to tell me what you have to say,” but Patton continued to yell inside her car as she drove away from our cameras.Patton’s neighbor Tony Toscano has witnessed this kind of behavior from Patton many times.
He and his parents across the street installed security cameras after he claims she destroyed the family’s property. Toscano said, “The wife had broken into my father’s pickup truck, breaking mirrors, breaking lights, bashing his bumpers.
She kicked down our mailbox.”Toscano used security video to get two restraining orders against Patton and her husband Lloyd Sigler. In a video from 2017, Patton accuses Tony’s parents of stalking her. In that video, you can hear Patton threatening to slit someone’s throat.
Her husband is seen trying to get her to stop yelling and get her back into the house.Now that Patton’s behavior has become to public, Toscano is hoping she gets the help she needs and the vitriol aimed at him and his family comes to an end.
The LAPD is investigating this as a hate incident.
Since the rant was not aimed at anyone in particular, it’s defines as a hate incident, instead of a hate crime.
