A South Carolina woman accused of launching a racist tirade against her black neighbors last year was arrested again this month after allegedly doing jumping jacks while naked in her front yard.
Alexis Hartnett, 27, was arrested Sunday and charged with a count of obscene exposure after a neighbor saw her doing “what appeared to be jumping jacks while topless” in the front yard of her Conway home, according to a police report obtained by WMBF.
The neighbor — a man with two small children — showed responding officers a video of the March 2 incident.
The Horry County police report states there is no fence or anything at the home that would prevent people from seeing into Hartnett’s yard.
Hartnett was booked in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center under a $10,000 bond. A judge ordered she have no contact with the man or his children.
She is due back in court later this month on charges stemming from when she was arrested in November alongside her boyfriend, 28-year-old Worden Butler.
The couple were arrested after allegedly erecting a cross — and setting it on fire — mere feet away from the home of their neighbors, who are black, in an attempt to intimidate them.
Hartnett was captured on police bodycam footage “repeatedly using a racial slur” toward her neighbors after cops were called to the scene.
After the cross-burning, her boyfriend posted threatening notes on Facebook and leaked their neighbor’s address.
Butler was charged with second-degree harassment while Hartnett was charged with second-degree harassment and third-degree assault. Both were booked and released within a day after posting bail.
The couple also face an effort from the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office to evict them from their home, which they rent from Butler’s mother. The injunction request accuses them of harassing, assaulting and threatening their neighbors and others.
Court documents filed by Butler’s mother, Janet, show she requested the temporary injunction be dismissed, saying it’s an “overreach of government,” WMBF reported.
The FBI searched the couple’s home in December as part of an investigation involving allegations of racial discrimination and took several things, including a charred piece of wood wrapped in cloth, a crossbow, a pellet gun and several phones.
The FBI has not charged Butler or Hartnett, though their investigation is ongoing.
The couple will appear in court later this month for the cross-burning and the injunction.
