A Florida woman was sentenced to 30 days in prison after she deliberately coughed on a cancer patient s face amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The interaction was caught in footage last year.
Debra Jo Hunter, 53, pleaded guilty on Monday to misdemeanor assault in the incident at the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville last Jun. 25.
After being charged with misdemeanor assault last year, Hunter was booked into the Duval County Jail but was released on the same day after posting bond, News4Jax reported.
Aside from her 30-day sentence, Hunter is also required to serve six months probation and undergo mental health evaluation and anger management, according to the communications director for the state attorney s office David Chapman.

James Ruth has gone viral for his reaction to seeing the June 2020 video of the infamous maskless woman inside of a Jacksonville, Florida Pier 1 who deliberately coughed on a cancer patient that had asked her to wear a mask.
Ruth, who ended up sentencing the woman to 30 days in county jail, said he’s not on social media and never saw the full viral video of
Debra Hunter coughing in the face of
Heather Sprague at the store in St. Johns Town Center. He appeared taken aback with the testimony of Sprague, who said she was undergoing treatment for a brain tumor at the time of the assault.
