Virginia state authorities arrested a 40-year-old woman for throwing Gatorade bottles into a moving car. But the unusual thing about the case is that the woman had just been unmasked by two subjects as someone posing as a homeless person who begged for alms in the streets but was riding in a practically new vehicle.

According to the Daily News, on Sunday two people posted on YouTube the video showing Micha Leigh Dominguez requesting money on a Henrico County street and shortly afterwards heading to a McDonald's parking lot where it appears she is about to board a 2014 Fiat vehicle.

When the men confront the woman and ask how someone who asks for alms can drive that car, which is in very good condition, the woman turns away from them and tries to take refuge in the restaurant.

The video has been viewed more than two million times and was broadcast on local news. This made many of the people who live in the area recognize the woman - who they described as aggressive - and said that she even fought with the drivers who did not give her money.

The following day the police resorted to a dispute between that same woman and another who accused her of throwing objects at a moving vehicle - which led to the arrest of the alleged beggar. Dominguez has apparently not been charged in court with fraud, solely for the crime of throwing those objects at a moving car.
