On September 13, 2014, someone called 911 on the couple when they spotted them in their own car kissing, assuming the mixed race pair were a john and prostitute. She was handcuffed for not showing her ID to the police officers who arrived, feeling they had no reason to ask for it, though her husband complied.

Charges were never filed and she was shortly released on the scene. The couple have retained a lawyer.
