Aiken, SC — Skhylur Davis, an 11-year old girl from South Carolina, says she was scared when her white neighbor assaulted her and falsely accused her of stealing her mail.
Elizabeth Shirey, who is 38-years old, is facing charges of assault and battery for yelling at Davis and aggressively grabbing her arm as she was walking back from picking up her grandmother’s mail.
Shirey accused the young girl of stealing her mail.
However, after checking the name and address of the mail, Shirey let the girl go, apologized, and offered her some cookies.
Moreover, Davis said she realized she was being racially profiled when Shirey’s husband, Justin, told her that if she was a “different type of person, it would have been a different story.”
