Oregon woman arrested after video shows her holding knife, yelling racial slurs over parking dispute

An Oregon woman was arrested on Friday night after she was caught on tape holding a knife and yelling racial slurs over a parking dispute.

Amber Rocco, 39, is facing two counts of intimidation in the first degree, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of menacing and two counts of harassment in connection with the dispute, which took place Sunday, Fox 12 News reported Friday.

{mosads}The McMinnville Police Department arrested Rocco after they were called to the parking lot of a strip mall over a dispute.

Emora Roberson was in the car with her aunt, boyfriend and 15-month-old baby when an agitated woman, later identified as Rocco, confronted them about how they were “parked crooked,” The Oregonian reported.

The video obtained by the news outlet does not capture what led to the confrontation, but shows the woman holding a knife.

“I’m not trying to stab no one, it’s call self-defense you stupid bitch,” the woman can be heard saying in the video, before using a racial slur.

Roberson says Rocco slapped and spit on her boyfriend before slamming the car door on her foot.

“She started screaming at him, calling him a n—–, saying all types of curse words,” Roberson told Fox. “Just nasty stuff I’m not going to repeat.”
