GAITHERSBURG, Md. (ABC7) — A black woman declared her disdain
for "white people" before pummeling two white passengers on
board a moving Ride On bus, Gaithersburg Police said.
Kimberly Jordan, 24, of Silver Spring, is charged with racial
harassment, obstructing and second-degree assault due to her
alleged offensive and physically painful antics.
It was 9 p.m. on a Monday. The Ride On bus was operating a route
near the intersection of Frederick Avenue and Travis Avenue,
just north of the Lakeforest Mall.
Jordan allegedly began to stare at two white passengers and then
murmured, "I hate white people." A short while later, Jordan,
who weighs 250 pounds, reportedly stood up and clocked the
female white passenger in the face. The male white passenger
attempted to defend his friend, but got smacked in the face as
well, police state.
The male victim suffered a "long" cut to this nose while the
female victim had a number of scratches on her palms, likely
defensive wounds.
Jordan fled from the bus, but officers responding to the assault
call managed to catch her about a quarter mile away. Jordan
initially told police that the female victim had issued the
first blow, however, Ride On bus surveillance video showed
differently.
Jordan ultimately began to whistle a different tune, first
stating she felt remorseful for her actions, and later adding
that she had not been taking her prescribed medication as of
late. An officer advised that failing to take medicine is not an
excuse for racist conduct. Jordan responded, "I know."
The Ride On bus driver told investigating officers that he
witnessed the entire fight and heard Jordan utter, "I hate white
people." Jordan's friend, who was also on the bus, corroborated
the account as well.
According to court documents, Jordan was unemployed and lived
with her grandmother at the time of her arrest. She has a
lengthy arrest record for charges like theft, burglary,
destruction of property, assault and domestic violence.
Jordan is scheduled to appear in Montgomery County District
Court on July 12, for a preliminary hearing. She faces up to 13
years in prison. No defense attorney is currently listed in her
court paperwork.
