<p>A Florida judge has sentenced a woman to 30 days in jail for coughing on a customer at a Pier 1 store last year.</p>
<p>Debra Jo Hunter, 52, was also ordered to pay a $500 fine, serve probation for six months and enroll in a mental health program, along with a program for anger management.</p>
<p>Hunter was arrested last June after she was seen in a video purposely coughing on another woman during an argument inside the store.</p>
<p>&#8220;According to investigators, the victim, Heather Sprague, had begun recording Hunter&#8217;s heated encounter with the employees over an item return,&#8221; the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9457563/Jacksonville-mother-Debra-Hunter-sentenced-30-days-jail-intentional-coughing.html">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hunter saw her and made a rude gesture before walking up and saying she would cough on her. And then she coughed on her, an arrest affidavit said. Sprague, who is being treated for a brain tumor, told the judge she spent days anxiously searching for a place where she and her family could be tested for the coronavirus. The tests ended up being negative, she said,&#8221; said the Mail.</p>
<p>During her trial, Hunter told the judge that her family had already paid heavily for her actions, saying her children have lost friends. &#8220;I watch as my kids lower their heads and turn the opposite direction, so they won´t be recognized or approached,&#8221; she told the judge. &#8220;And I know exactly what they&#8217;re feeling because I do the same thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>The sentence comes a month after a man charged with assault when he was caught on video “forcefully exhaling” on two women outside former President Donald Trump’s Virginia golf course settled his case.</p>
<p>Raymond Deskins, 61, of Sterling, donated $3,000 to the Loudoun County branch of the NAACP through his lawyer.</p>
<p>Michelle Thomas, president of the branch, said the donation will help provide scholarships to a graduating senior at each of the 17 high schools in Loudoun, according to The Loudoun Times. “Helping kids achieve their college dreams is a great way to respond to bad with good.”</p>
<p>Last November, Deskins was charged with misdemeanor assault after a citizen obtained a warrant through a county magistrate, The Associated Press reported, adding that he was seen “forcefully exhaling” on the women.</p>
<p>Videos that went viral on social media showed Deskins blowing air on two women after one of them asks him to move farther away because he was not wearing a mask.</p>
<p>“That’s assault,” one of the women said after Deskins blows on them.</p>
<p>“I breathed on you,” said Deskins, who was wearing a Trump “Make America Great Again” shirt and had an inflatable pool toy with Trump’s likeness around his waist. “Yeah, call the cops and ask them to come get me.”</p>
<p>Virginia regulations at the time required residents to wear masks in stores and other indoor locations, but not outdoors.</p>
<p>The incident happened outside Trump National Golf Club, where the president was playing golf. Supporters and protesters often gathered near the club entrance to cheer or jeer Trump.</p>
