Shiloh Hendrix, the woman seen in a viral video using a racial slur at a kid at a park in Rochester, Minnesota, in April will be charged with three counts of disorderly conduct.
Hendrix is facing up to 90 days in jail and or $1,000 in fines.
Earlier this year, Shiloh Hendrix, a Rochester, Minnesota, mother, raised over $750,000 through a GiveSendGo fundraiser to protect her family after a vicious online witch hunt.
The now-deleted viral video shows Hendricks being confronted by a man who accused her of using the “N-word” in reference to a five-year-old child who she says stole a diaper bag from her 18-month-old son.
As TGP previously reported, the man recording the video, who is now accused by Hendrix of stalking and doxxing her, demands to know why she used the “N-word” in her confrontation.
NEW: Woman calls a kid the N-WORD with the HARD-R and accuses him of taking her son’s stuff
MAN: “Did you call the child the N-WORD?”
WOMAN: “Yeah, what if he acts like one… he took my son’s stuff.”
MAN: “So you so that gives you the right to call the child the N-WORD.”… pic.twitter.com/7EY8Frb9j6

The video ignited instant backlash, with critics branding Hendrix a racist and launching a coordinated campaign to ruin her life.
According to Hendrix, the video of the confrontation, posted by a man with a reported history with law enforcement, led to her home address, phone number, and even her Social Security number being leaked online, putting her family in danger.
KTTC reported:
The Rochester City Attorney’s Office moves to leverage three counts of Disorderly Conduct against Shiloh Hendrix, a woman who used racial slurs against a Somali child with a disability in a since-viral video in April.
The charges would amount to a maximum of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
The legal complaint is still subject to review and approval by a district court judge, but it concludes that “[Shiloh] wrongfully and unlawfully engaged in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct, or in offensive obscene, or abusive language that would reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.”
This matter involved a large amount of evidence and required careful consideration of potential charging options across multiple offices. Additionally, under Minnesota law, prosecutors are required to involve and consider the perspective of the crime victim. Given the sensitive and complicated nature of this case, along with the high level of public attention, completing the necessary reviews and conversations with the victim’s family took longer than usual.
The City Attorney’s Office remains focused on the legal process and is committed to ensuring a fair process. We will not speculate on the length of the court process or the potential outcome.
