A graphic viral video of a man urinating on a Black woman’s driver’s license has sparked a social media firestorm, and people are outraged and want the man arrested.
“I feel so violated,” Leah Jefferson of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wrote on Facebook once she learned what happened to her license.
Jefferson was looking to purchase a used car on Feb. 26. She found herself at NH Auto Sales, LLC in Kenosha, Wisconsin, eyeing a 2004 Honda Civic. Around 1 p.m., Jefferson said she decided to test drive the car and handed car salesman Bryan Slaven her license for the drive. During the test drive, as Jefferson wrote in a lengthy Facebook post, she developed a list of questions she’d planned to ask about the used car she considered buying.
Jefferson reportedly also attempted to negotiate a purchasing price for the 19-year-old car after the test drive.
“We asked how negotiable the price was,” Jefferson wrote.
“They really didn’t give much besides, ‘It’s tax season, and we really don’t have to drop the price’,” Jefferson said Slaven told her.
Jefferson chose not to purchase the car and left the dealership to head to her home an hour away. As she was leaving, she realized she left her driver’s license at the dealership with Slaven.
She claimed she called Slaven asking if she could send him $5 via CashApp in order for him to mail it back to her. Bryan reportedly told her he wouldn’t be back in the office until Monday. Jefferson told him she would call him when he was back in the office so that she could retrieve her license.
After the exchange, according to Jefferson, she received a text message.
“Hi Leah, were you a recent customer at NH Auto Sales? There’s a disturbing video I believe the owner posted regarding your ID,” the text message read.
She was stunned to see the video, first posted by Slaven himself, of her driver’s license being urinated on.
The now-viral video shows a man holding Jefferson’s license saying, “This is what happens…when you say stupid s—t to us.”
While the identity of men is unconfirmed. Jefferson believe Slaven and Zach Brugioni were holding the license and recording the incident,
Another voice can be heard in the background, instructing the man with the license to place it on the bumper of a truck.
