The Rochester City Attorney’s Office has filed three counts of disorderly conduct against Shiloh Hendrix, a mother who used offensive language toward a Somali child with a disability in a video that gained widespread attention in April. The charges could result in up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine if convicted.

The legal complaint alleges that Hendrix engaged in “offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct” and used language that “reasonably tended to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment.” The case involves multiple offices and required consideration of the victim’s perspective under Minnesota law. A district court judge must approve the charges before they proceed.

The incident occurred at a public park, where Hendrix reportedly directed slurs at the child. The city attorney’s office emphasized the complexity of the case, noting the high level of public scrutiny and the need for thorough review. No further details about the victim or the circumstances surrounding the encounter have been disclosed.

The matter remains under investigation, with no additional information provided about the involvement of other parties or potential legal defenses.
