Jackson Woman Denies Religion Motivated Altercation, Cites Self-Defense Against "Arabian Terrorists" | New Hampshire Public Radio

A Jackson woman accused of a hate crime says her actions inside a hotel lobby had nothing to do with the alleged victims’ religion.

In a preliminary hearing on Friday in Carroll County Superior Court, Priscilla Protasowicki told Judge Amy Ignatius, “I have no problem with their national origin, their religion. I have absolutely no issue with that.”

In April, state prosecutors allege Protasowicki, whose family operates the Covered Bridge Riverview Lodge, pushed two guests during an altercation in the lobby. According to the state’s complaint, Protasowicki said to the family “You’re a Muslim. You’re not supposed to be here,” during the dispute.
