"I already did. He's on his way," the deputy said. The woman responds by saying "good, because you're a murderer."
When the deputy asks the woman to sign the citation, she goes on to say, "here you go, Mexican racist. You're always going to be a Mexican. You'll never be White. You know that right? You'll never be White, which is what you really want to be."
Officials say the woman also accused the deputy of harassing her.
