Karen Marie Inman, 39, allegedly told the victim to go back to “where you came from” during the Feb. 13 incident, the Santa Clara District Attorney’s office said in a statement on Monday. Inman reportedly approached the victim, a 36-year-old man of Asian descent who was dining outside with a friend in downtown Mountain View, and spat at him. She also allegedly used an ethnic slur.
