Contractor Says He Wants Criminal Charges For Woman Who Threw Hot Coffee At Him In Viral Video

CENTURY CITY (CBSLA) — A contractor says he wants to press charges against a woman who threw hot coffee on him as he was trying to get work done at a Century City apartment complex.

Miguel Sanchez is asking police to file criminal charges against a woman his attorney identified as Rhonda Michelle Polon.

Sanchez recorded video of a woman yelling at him, her two leashed dogs at her side, before she threw coffee from a mug at him.

"Get out of my f---- face!" she said loudly in the video, before moving to throw the contents of her mug.

In the viral video, the woman tells the men they can't come into the garage without permission from the owner. But Sanchez counters that he has a garage remote and a key, which he shows in the video.

Police were called at the time, but no arrests were made.

On Friday, Sanchez, accompanied by his lawyer, told reporters Polon was "irrational and abusive." "Her hatred grew with every passing moment," said Sanchez. "The hating people has to stop now, and if we don't take action right now, it sends a message that this kind of treatment is acceptable."

Polon, a fitness instructor, then allegedly sent Sanchez's wife text messages his lawyer claimed were threatening to her and her daughter.

CBS2 tried to reach Polon or comment but had not heard back Friday afternoon. She could face charges of battery and making criminal threats.
