Woman poured ‘contents of a can’ over senior citizen because he was wearing a MAGA hat, police say

  • On Tuesday around 5:30 pm in Largo, Florida, Laura Garrett, 33, allegedly attacked 72-year-old Gary Gama over his MAGA hat at Northeast Park and Paw Place.
  • The confrontation began when Garrett asked Gama why he supported President Donald Trump, prompting a verbal argument about the hat.
  • Garrett poured contents of a can on Gama and struck him on the back of the head and shoulder with the can, then attempted to flee by jumping a fence.
  • Police restrained Garrett after she resisted arrest by locking her legs around an officer, causing an injury to his knee; she was booked without bond but released the following evening.
  • Garrett has been charged with assaulting a person aged 65 or older, assaulting a police officer, and non-violent obstruction or resistance of an officer, with the case now submitted to the State Attorney’s office for prosecution.
