This time, it happened over Memorial Day in Berkely.
This group of friends were visiting Berkely and decided to walk to a burger joint. On the way, an apparent drunk white woman harassed the man in the white baseball cap. Excerpt from story:
“You don’t belong here,” the woman suddenly told Essex Cook. She was fixated on him, he recalled. He said that, though the group was multiracial, he is black and has the darkest skin. “Get out of Berkeley. Get out of here. You don’t belong anywhere,” the woman said over and over.
She was identified in records online as 31-year-old Lauren Milewski. Hong said Milewski has no permanent home address.
According to court records, Milewski was on probation for a 2017 robbery case that was described, when it was charged, as a violent felony that could have sent her to prison. She ultimately took a plea to grand theft, and the rest of the charges in the case were dismissed. Milewski spent a couple months in jail, then was placed on a five-year probation term. According to records online she is no longer in custody and no new charges appear to have been filed.
