A white Montana woman was arrested Tuesday after she was captured on camera berating a Black man as he waited in line to vote.

Wendy Bies, 53, made a court appearance Wednesday where she pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor counts of obstructing a police officer and disorderly conduct according to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. Bies remains jailed on $500 bail.

Brain Mango, 22, was waiting in line to case his ballot at the Gallatin County Courthouse when Bies started weaving in and out of the line and continued touching him and said that he had a “cute butt,” Mango said. Then Bies began shouting racist remarks at Mango telling him “go back where you came from.”

In the video Mango is heard saying all “his people” came to America on “purpose” and wanted free stuff. Mango replied by stating that his ancestors were brought to the U.S. as slaves while his mother, who’s from Laos, was a refugee.

“Do you know why [my] mom is here? Because Americans bombed her country,” Mango said of his mother. “Do you know why my Dad’s here? Because they brought his ancestors here in chains.”
