Woman exposed and arrested for “faking” homelessness
An American woman has been arrested for faking her homelessness after she was recorded returning to her expensive car just moments after begging for money at a nearby intersection.
“How much did you make today? How much is that bag?” one of the men filming asked, outraged as the woman rushed to her late model black Fiat, parked in a McDonald’s carpark. “This is wrong. You're taking people’s money. What year is that vehicle? You’re begging for money, why do you do that? You own a car, you’re not homeless. Some people are really homeless and need help.”
The woman, who has been identified as 40-year-old Virginia resident Micha Leigh Dominguez, replied that she was begging not due to homelessness, but “because I have a disability.”
Upon being asked about the nature of her disability, Dominguez retorted, “None of your business.”
The original video, which recently went viral, was seen around two million times before it was taken down by YouTube.
According to local news station WTVR, was arrested after she reportedly threw full bottles of Gatorade at passing vehicles who had been “harassing” and “videotaping” the now infamous viral star. She has been charged with three counts of throwing a missile at a moving vehicle.
