A Jonesboro woman who was the victim of a 2009 attack at a Morrow Cracker Barrel restaurant was sentenced Friday in a June disorderly conduct case.
Tashawnea Yeasha Hill, 37, pleaded no contest to the charge and was sentenced to 12 months probation, 64 hours of community service and was ordered to enroll in anger management classes, according to Clayton County State Court records.
Hill, an Army reservist, was arrested on June 20 after she and Janise Roebuck, a nurse, were arguing and fighting in Roebuck's front yard in Hampton, Ga., according to police.
Roebuck told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Hill had forced her way into her home, threatened to "get her" and yelled at her about a man that both the women were dating. Hill has denied Roebuck's version of the incident.
Hill was out on bond on a separate disorderly conduct arrest stemming from a June 2010 incident when she was arrested June 20, 2011.
In September 2009, Hill, who is black, and her daughter, encountered Troy West, a white man, passing through the doors of the Cracker Barrel. The indictment against West had accused him of striking Hill when she asked him to be careful, saying he had almost hit her daughter with the restaurant door. Police said he beat Hill while her daughter watched.
West pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and got a six-month sentence. He was released after 43 days in jail.
