Lady concerned she may potentially lose her job repeatedly hit boss in the face with a metal plate

A 25-year-old woman from St. Paul, Minnesota, is accused of repeatedly hitting her boss with a metal plate after being told she’d most likely lose her job, according to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. On Oct. 30 at 10:22pm, Mendota Heights police were dispatched to Applied Coating on the report of an assault.

When police officers arrived, they learned a woman, identified as Waasohn Senite Dorliae, struck her boss, according to the complaint. An investigation revealed that Dorliae was upset after her boss reprimanded her for being late and told her she would most likely not have a job the next day.



Dorliae, who works on a line with metal, then took a large piece of metal and struck him in the face and head at least five times, the complaint said. Once he fell to the ground, she walked away with the weapon, but turned around and threw it at him – striking him in the knee. The victim suffered multiple cuts on his face, chin and back of the head.

In an interview with police, Darliae told police that the victim was “discriminating” and “nit-picking” on her and, because of that, she needed to resort to violence. She admitted to using full force to strike him in the head and said she needed to use the violence because he fired her, the complaint said. Dorliae now faces one felony count of second-degree assault. If convicted, she could face a maximum penalty of seven years in prison and/or a $14,000 fine.
