SEATTLE (AP) — Prosecutors say a suburban Seattle woman accused of threatening her Vietnamese American neighbor has been arrested and charged with a hate crime. The Seattle Times reports the neighbor of Jan Myers in Shoreline said Myers had acted erratically and yelled racial slurs at her for years. Prosecutors say on April 5, “these anti-Asian racial slurs escalated to threatening behavior.” The charges say Myers referred to the neighbor as “slant eye,” and yelled “Hey Miss Vietnam … You’re not going to live very long.” Police say the neighbor recorded video that documented the confrontation. Court records do not show which attorney is representing Myers.
