BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The convenience store worker accused of dousing a homeless woman with water has been issued a misdemeanor summons for simple battery, the Baton Rouge Police Department says.
Police did not immediately release the name of the 33-year-old woman who was charged.
The incident appears to have happened within the last several days, during extremely cold weather, outside of the Triple S Food Mart on Foster Drive in Baton Rouge.

However, that employee said that same female employee was actually known for feeding the homeless in the area and he believes she just got outraged when several homeless people refused her orders to leave the property.
