Stephanie Hendricks

A New York lawyer who is accused of not paying a $6 taxi fare, exposing herself to police and verbally abusing them said she got drunk after breaking up with her boyfriend.

Stephanie Hendricks, 39, was in Brooklyn in the early hours of Saturday morning after a night out with friends when police were called after she ran away from a cab without paying.
Police found her in a Williamsburg deli, where she stripped from the waist down before exposing herself to police and lunging at them while unleashing a string of profanities.
The incident was captured on the deli surveillance video.

The deli owner, Mohammad Rahman, 54, told the New York Post: ’Normally we don’t see people cursing a police officer. But then she opened her clothes in front of the police officer, in front of us. She looked crazy.
‘She…showed everything to the cop…She had no panties.
‘The cops were saying, “Calm down, lady. Calm down. Be cool”,’ Rahman said.
She allegedly shouted at police: ‘Eat my ass you f___ing pigs.’

She explained her actions to the Post, saying: ’My boyfriend broke up with me. I went out. I got drunk. I had a bad night.

‘It was obviously an altercation, but I have no recollection from a certain point in the evening.
‘Everyone was in a festive mood. Things were flowing. Then things got out of control. I was wasted — all caps bold. You couldn’t get bigger, all caps bold, wasted.’
