Journalist claims abuse and that cops profiled her--then the truth came out

New Mexico -- Jenni Monet [no relation to the French impressionist], refers to herself as a self-styled "award-winning journalist,"  and Native American activist. She claimed that she was racially profiled at a liquor store and subsequently by the cops who responded to a call made by the store. She said that she was also a victim of police brutality.

But alas!  Surveillance video from the night of her arrest for aggravated DWI in Santa Fe, New Mexico, shows another side of the story, which includes the allegedly drunken Monet making obscene gestures at the liquor store employees and screaming obscenities at the cops as she was cuffed and arrested.

Court documents obtained by KRQE News 13 say the journalist was turned away by a liquor store in Santa Fe when she tried to buy two bottles of wine while allegedly appearing to be drunk. Perhaps the store employees would rather lose the money from a sale than for her to lose her life or that of another for drunk driving.

According to surveillance video obtained by KRQE News 13, Monet pulls up to the store and goes inside, but is refused service. "She then went back out to her car before she went back inside, and started screaming and making obscene gestures toward the staff." [She can be seen "flipping the bird" in the video.]

After the encounter, both Monet and the employees at the liquor store called authorities.

Footage from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department, which was also obtained by KRQE News 13, captured the activist’s seemingly belligerent behavior toward the police officer. Monet dropped the "F bomb" several times and referred to the police officer as a "fat-finger f***." Not nice. Not professional.

After Monet denies that she’s been drinking to a deputy, he asked the woman, "How come I can smell a really strong odor of alcohol?"

She also refused to take a sobriety test using expletives to explain her position.
