Wolfer was later chased down by nearby witnesses, including Mary Mundling, who works at a nearby jewelry store. Mundling explained that people were quick to respond because the culture in their community is that they “take care of our own.” She added, “He made it an issue with the police, egging them on. The first police officer had her taser out, and she did have to call back up.”
Bonnett expressed that she was hurt by Wolfer’s comments saying, “I was born with my skin color, proud of my skin color not going to change it, can’t change it.” She added, “To know that someone would want to attack me just because of that, that is kind of scary.”
Bonnett had only been in business since the end of last year and is now looking at over $3,000 worth of physical damage. There has been a GoFundMe setup by Brittani Evans with a goal of $10,000. Evans a friend of Bonnett wrote “is the ONLY black business on that block of Old Sac” and she was “attacked like this for nothing other than being a black woman.” The fundraiser raised nearly $7,000 to cover damage and restock the damaged inventory. Wolfer has since been arrested eventually arrested and taken into custody. Wolfer has since said he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the incident.
