The Clayton County District Attorney upgraded charges against a racist who kicked and punched a black woman in front of her daughter at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant.
The incident occurred on September 9 outside a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Morrow, Georgia. Troy West, 47, and his wife were exiting the restaurant just as Tasha Hill, 35, and her 7-year-old daughter were entering.
“The man slung open the door pretty hard and fast and I had to push my daughter out of the way. I turned to the man and I just said, ‘Excuse me sir, you need to watch yourself you almost hit my daughter in the face.’ And from there it just went downhill,” said Hill.
More words were exchanged before West threw Hill to the ground and began viciously kicking and punching her as he screamed racial epithets at the army reservist. The beating took place in full view of Hill’s hysterical daughter.
The assault ended when the restaurant manager got between West and his victim.
West was initially charged with the misdemeanor assault and released on $5,000 bond. But after viewing the surveillance tape of the assault, Clayton County District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson presented the case to a grand jury Wednesday and asked for upgraded charges.
“I don’t normally get personally involved in cases, but I am going to personally prosecute Mr. West on behalf of that victim and the citizens of this county,” District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson said last week.
The grand jury indicted West on new, felony charges of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, battery and disorderly conduct and he was ordered held without bond in a hearing in Clayton County court yesterday.
A group of protestors outside the courthouse who had called for the upgraded charges were happy with the outcome of the hearing.
In a phone interview with WSB TV, West’s mother said her son would never hurt a mother in front of her child.
“This just doesn’t sound right,” said Johnny West from her Poulan home.
Thanks to loyal reader Cornelius for the tip!
Damn fool i hope they catch up with his azz in jail and let him see how it feels.
Krysi I love the pic.
I guess the racist crackel barrel heads mom needs to see the tape. I hate parents who protect or think they are protecting their kids and grown ass ones at that.
@ Anna thanks!
And I agree, I would never hold my son up in his wrong…NOW thats IF he wrong LOL…especially if he is 47 fukking years old.
wow!
@Missy, I agree with you 1000%. I can not imagine my daughter having to stand by helplessly while some man fought, no BEAT me. That poor little girl, and her mom for feeling helpless to protect her daughter and herself. Put his a$$ under the jail!!!
I’M GLAD THIS IS BEING HANDLED PROPERLY!
WHAT A PUZZY AND TO BEAT HER IN FRONT OF HER CHILD LIKE THAT-I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA THAT CHILD SUFFERED
AS A MOTHER I WOULD HAVE FELT HELPLESS NOT BEING ABLE TO AT LEAST DEFEND MYSELF AND KNOWING MY CHILD WAS WITNESSING THE ENTIRE THING-
JUSTICE IS BEING SERVED BUT THE HURT WOULD DRIVE ME TO COMMIT MURDER-ALTHOUGH HIM GOING TO JAIL IS THE CORRECT WAY THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE HANDLED-THIS WOULD BE ENOUGH TO DRIVE ME INSANE
i wanna see the video and i wonder if it has audio cause that will add an element when it goes to trial
And his wife needs her azz kicked for standing there and not even TYRING to stop it. He most beat her azz on a regular. And YT’s think we need to get over racisim, yea ok, its very much still alive. He also needs to have a hate crime charge or whatever it is added to those charges becuase obviously it was racially motivated.
@east I have been waiting on the video as well only cause I am nosey not because I don’t believe her before I get accused of trying to blame the woman lol
I wish her and her daughter God Bless them!
@Lovely the victim was on CNN last week and she said she didnt want to make this about race so I would be surprised if they made this a hate crime.
I’m glad the charges were upgraded…what about making it a hate crime?? ALSO EVERY WOMAN SHOULD OWN A GUN..i myself have a gray and black 9mm..also learn how to shoot ladies…i mean these are new times we are living in!

He does and we know those types of ppl love to use the “N” word when behind closed doors.
@ Daisy I GUESS i understand where she coming from being as though “they” always saying we make everything about race. BUT it clearly was, but then again maybe he just called her “black names” because he was mad at the time. IDK.
Just drop his azz off in the hood and jusice will be serve.
@ Attorneymom
NEVER come to the hood to spit their venom to the ones they’re referring to.
——————————————————
yea cuz they know “dey betta ride wit dey fie, or stay dey azz home”……thats something like suicide.
@LovelyLady, they know they would get that azz beat if they come to the hood.
I have been warning these racist white people (not all white people, just the racist one) and House Negroes that they are dealing with a different type of Negro. We ain’t singing “We Shall Overcome” or turning the other cheek. Like my Pastor said, “We only have two cheeks. Hit both of them and it is on.” Americans of the darker hue have already been slap on both cheeks with Slavery and then Segregation. Now it is on. We have a generation that just don’t give a f***. They are not afraid of jail or death. Do you see what they do to each other on a daily basis?
Attorneymom you’re pastor is crazy:
“Like my Pastor said, “We only have two cheeks. Hit both of them and it is on.” Americans of the darker hue have already been slap on both cheeks with Slavery and then Segregation. Now it is on.”
This is ridiculous, WTF kind of barbarians are allowed out to mingle with the general population? If she had a gun & shot him…, just wowed. How can she say this was not about race if he was letting racial slurs fly? Was there nobody who saw him attack her? Why did a beating even occur, nobody could get there fast enough to stop him? No men there? No black folks? What fcukery happened?
@Lovely, you can see my Pastor on the Frankie and Neffe show. His name is Pastor Jesse Curney III. : – )
