Delaware police arrest 2 after video appears to show MAGA hat snatched from child
Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy
Two women have been arrested in Delaware in connection with a viral video that allegedly showed the suspects ripping up Trump signs and stealing a MAGA hat near the site of Democrat Joe Biden's acceptance speech Thursday. The video also shows a heated confrontation between the suspects and adults coming to the defense of a 7-year-old supporter of President Trump. The
suspects, identified as Olivia Winslow, 21, and Camryn Amy, 21, were
arrested by Wilmington police Friday and Saturday and charged with
robbery, conspiracy and endangering the welfare of a child, according
to Delaware Online. Amy was also charged with offensive touching. “That’s
somebody else’s hat,” the 7-year-old boy is heard saying in the video
after the women rip up several Trump signs in the parking lot of the
Chase Center in Wilmington, where portions of the Democratic Convention were held. One of the suspects grabs a Trump hat that was lying on the ground. “Get your hat back, baby,” an adult is heard saying to the boy as they follow the suspects, demanding the return of the hat.

One
of the suspects allegedly punched a man in the face after he joined the
mother and son in an attempt to get the hat back, which can be seen in
the video. “You want to sucker-punch me?” the mother yells as one of the suspects throws the hat over a tall fence. “She
came after my son!” the mother alleges. One suspect then appears to
approach the mother and attempt to hit her before the video ends. Winslow and Amy were identified after police reviewed the footage, according to Delaware Online. The
altercation began when Winslow and Amy allegedly started taunting the
woman and her son over their Trump signs, one of which was "forcefully”
snatched out of her hands by Amy, court documents said, according to Delaware Online. The
incident was the latest of increasing clashes between the left and the
right nearing presidential
election.
