He said that the situation escalated when he tried to leave and she grabbed him by his jacket hood and punched him in the face.

The two of them got into an altercation, resulting in him calling 911.

Hill said that she actually was confronting McLemore about how money connected to Black Lives Matter was being spent.

“I told him, ‘It’s not fair that I come here and I work and you running around taking care of other things that don’t got nothing to do with Black Lives Matter with Black Lives Matter money,’” she said on video.
