A Chicago-area woman is facing hate crime charges after video showed her spitting and repeatedly shouting a racial slur at a black couple during a margarita festival over the summer. Jessica Sanders, 26, was arrested last week and charged with two felony counts of committing a hate crime and two misdemeanor counts of battery/making physical contact, according to Chicago police. Her arrest comes nearly three months after the July 30 incident was filmed and uploaded to social media. The dispute started over a beanbag tossing game at the city’s Margarita Festival, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Sanders, speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday, said she regrets her actions and said they do not accurately portray her.
