Middle class mom hires bodyguard for court appearance after she was filmed committing obscene road rage act
A Pennsylvania mom who allegedly defecated on a vehicle in a bizarre case of road rage has hired a bodyguard to accompany her to court.
Christina Solometo, 44, appeared at Prospect Park District Court on Monday for a preliminary hearing into the wild offense that was caught on camera last month.
The clip shows a woman, dubbed the 'Delco Popper', dropping her pants, squatting over the hood of a car in Prospect Park, Delaware County, before delectating on it.
Her attorney David Klayman advised Fox News that Solomento had hired a guard due to receiving threats, after the clip was circulated on social media.
Solometo was charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, harassment and depositing waste after she was arrested on May 2.
In court on Monday, officials added another count of open lewdness as witness Greg Ferrari, 17, was called.
Ferrari had captured the moment that she allegedly defecated on the vehicle, he told the court he was heading to his friends house at the time of the incident.
According to the teenager he had to stop as he saw two women in a heated confrontation, and decided to record it.
According to Fox, he told the court: 'One of the people ended up going to the bathroom on the other's car.'
Ferrari identified the woman that he captured on video as being Solometo, saying that the other driver had been shouting insults at Solometo.
Outside of court, Ferrari admitted to awaiting reporters that since the clip went viral he has become somewhat of a celebrity due to the attention it has received.
He said: 'It's pretty crazy. I mean it's something you'd never expect. I just got done [at] school. I got called out of school for this.'
Klayman argued in court that the charges against Solometo do not accurately portray what happened that day and that the other driver is also to blame.
Speaking of the threats, he told Fox: 'It's traumatic because it's all over the media. There are people making t-shirts, hats. Making threatening comments.
'When we are talking about a person. Just because it's not your best day doesn't mean you should be harassed continuously.'
Solometo is expected back in court to be formally arraigned on July 9.
According to court documents she allegedly told police, 'It was a clean poop. I didn't even have to wipe.'
Solometo allegedly claimed she had acted out of restraint rather than rage.
'The other driver called me a bad name,' she said. 'So I dropped a deuce instead of turning violent.'
Prospect Park Police Chief Dave Madonna told NBC after the clip surfaced that: 'This can't happen in this community.
'No town wants this to happen in their town. The recognition a town gets over this kind of thing - it's really unwelcome. We don't want this.'
'I know it's being joked on a lot. There's all kinds of puns and innuendos online. But bottom line, we are treating it seriously.'
It has also since emerged that Solometo is an adult content creator with an OnlyFans page.
Her page promises subscribers an intimate 'toe-tally' experience, including decorated toenails, toe jewelry, and personalized fetish content.
When a reporter for Philadelphia Magazine messaged Solometo to ask if her public defecation had any connection to fetish content she offers, her response was vulgar.
'You want me to f***ing s*** on you? I want 5k and I'm bringing a bodyguard!'
Her reply was sent via a Facebook account Solometo operates under the alias 'Christina M. Shythead.'

Kai Trump follows in family footsteps by briefly pretending to work at fast food restaurant
Donald Trump 's granddaughter, Kai Trump, followed in the family footsteps, briefly, this week by trying her hand at working at a fast food outlet. In a TikTok video posted Wednesday, the golfer and daughter of Donald Trump Jr. took on a shift at a Dunkin' Donuts drive-through. Kai, 18, wore a tank top and skirt in the brand's signature colors of pink and yellow in the nine-second clip. She took an order for a medium iced coffee, tapping it into the register and then handing the beverage through the window to the driver in his car. The stunt is to promote a YouTube video in which she and her younger brother, Tristan, tried out Dunkin's signature drinks and snacks. The clip immediately evokes the moment in October, during the peak of the 2024 presidential election, when her grandfather put on an apron at a Pennsylvania drive-through McDonald's and learned to operate the french fries station. Then-candidate Trump similarly delivered takeout orders to customers in their cars as part of the photo opportunity and also hosted an impromptu press conference. 'It requires great expertise, actually, to do it right and to do it fast,' Trump said. 'These people work hard. They're great. They're great. And I just saw something—a process that's beautiful.' The stunt was arranged for fast-food fan Trump to hit back at Democratic presidential candidate, then-Vice President, Kamala Harris, who often spoke of her time working at McDonald's during college. Trump baselessly claimed she was lying about working there. Kai Trump, who has a large social media following and is an avid golfer, saw her profile rise significantly after she spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July, shortly after the assassination attempt on her grandfather.

EXCLUSIVE John Fetterman slams 'twisted martyr' Luigi Mangione after he brags about his $1M legal fund
Outspoken Senator John Fetterman has blasted accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione and his legion of supporters who have now handed their 'folk hero assassin' an astonishing $1million for his defense. Mangione revealed the staggering amount in a self-reflective list of 27 things he's 'grateful for' to mark his birthday of the same number inside the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Fetterman, a long-standing critic of the Mangione support cult, told exclusively in a reaction to the figure: 'Spoiler… to those who exalt, donate and defend their twist martyr, that cowardly a**hole will die in prison.' Mangione was arrested in Fetterman's home state Pennsylvania after five days on the run following the shooting death of healthcare boss Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street. The senator is one of many who believe Mangione's list was widely circulated to his army of devotees – who view him as a romanticized folk hero for his alleged slaying of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on December 4, 2024 – as a way to garner sympathy as the legal clock ticks. Millionaire Mangione references his large bounty in item 13 on his list of the '27 things I am grateful for'. It reads: 'The some 30,000 individuals around the globe who have come together to donate over $1,000,000 to my legal fund, enabling me to retain a world class defense team across three concurrent prosecutions.' Mangione allegedly shot Thompson in the back on a Manhattan sidewalk as he arrived for an investors meeting. The now 27-year-old was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an anonymous 911 call describing a 'suspicious man' resembling the suspect. According to a manifesto on him when seized, he was critical of the state of healthcare in the United States. The alleged killer, who was born into a wealthy and prominent family in Baltimore, Maryland, painted a rough canvas of his daily 'birdcage' incarceration in the 27-point list which also appears to revel in his 'celebrity' status. He mailed it out from the jail on June 6. Mangione, who is pleading not guilty to federal and state murder charges, gushes surprising praise toward staff at the jail, currently also housing rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs during his sex-trafficking trial. He also gets political, dubbing America as 'sick' and praising both conservatives and liberals alike while calling free speech 'the basis of our way of life'. Mangione additionally reveals his supporters are deluging him with their own stories of everyday travails and adversity in an effort to boost him as he awaits a December 5 hearing to set his federal trial date. It appears money for goodies inside is not a problem, with him revealing he's being bombarded with top-ups for his commissary account to buy essentials and treats – and disclosing what he likes to eat. But Mangione's first thoughts are reserved for those closest to him. Leading his list of gratitude is a heartfelt nod to his inner circle: 'My friends, for being there when I needed it most,' he writes in thought number one. He is grateful for his family, yet curtly, and confusingly, considering his appeals for sympathy – informing his followers 'my personal life is none of your business!' And he praises 'the many talented and generous individuals who – if not for my current predicament – I would never have crossed paths with'. The accused assassin, who has a cushy job in jail cleaning showers, claims he suffers Groundhog Day symptoms as a result of others' kindness. Reasons to be grateful number four says: 'Letters. I spend each day between the same four walls of my unit, where I receive both holiday cards sent in December and birthday cards sent between March and May, creating a bizarre and disorienting Groundhog Day scenario where every day is both Christmas and my May 6th birthday. 'Nonetheless, I am incredibly grateful. The monotony of my physical environment is offset by the variety and richness of the lives I experience through letters: multi-page life stories, retellings of workplace conversations, stream of consciousness journal entries. 'Admissions of greatest fears, eager recaps of recent triumphs, mothers reliving senseless tragedies. Soulful creations, generous offers, advice.' Aside from his defense fund, he is also receiving money to make life easier inside the federal lock-up. Item 17 reads: 'Everyone who has donated to my commissary account, whose contributions have funded a tablet, songs, stamps, hygiene items, bbq sauce, Goya sazon, peanut butter and lot of tuna packets.' His tastes inside also extend to 'Chicken Thursdays and Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce'. Aside from food, the University of Pennsylvania alumni admitted he cannot wade through all the 'countless books I've been sent' but he's 'distributed these books to my grateful inmates'. 'While I've never read the vast majority of them, I've loved facilitating this collective practice in tsundoko', he continues, referring to a Japanese word meaning acquiring books but letting them pile up without reading them. Reason number 17 was a direct shout out to his fans whose donations to his prison commissary account allowed him to purchase Barbeque sauce, Sazon seasoning packets and even a tablet He also gives a fascinating insight into his own taste in literature. In a nod to the shadow of the charges facing him, he gives a thumbs up to two dystopian works involving rebellion against the system. 'My favorites include Ayn Rand's Anthem, Patrick Bet-David's Your Next Five Moves and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451,' he writes. Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella published in 1938 with the plot taking place at an unspecified future date when mankind is entering an age where individuality is eliminated. In it, a young man known as Equality 7-2521 rebels by doing secret scientific research. Fahrenheit 451 is another dark work, this time depicting an America where books are outlawed. It follows a man who rebels against his role as a fireman who burns books, quits his job and commits to preserving literature. Meanwhile, Your Next Five Moves: Master the Art of Business Strategy is a complete shift of gears, charting strategies for life and business – stating that the first move is understanding your own strengths and weaknesses. Mangione is grateful for 'being born in America', yet he adds: 'She is haunted by her past, she is sick, she is plagued by inner turmoil – such is her nature as a nation of individuals. 'She is young, in midst of an adolescent identity crisis. But despite her flaws, her frame is robust and her potential unmatched.' Mangione's gratitude further includes 'free speech, the basis of our way of life'. He adds: 'When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say' – George.' The quote is from A Clash of Kings, a fantasy novel by George RR Martin. Politically, Mangione strikes a seemingly even-handed tone. In items 23 and 24, he writes: 'The conservatives, who fiercely conserve the aspects of our society that make us great.' 'The liberals, who liberate us from the outdated aspects of our society that prevent us from being greater.' Meanwhile, he heaps praise on one man who has been helping him negotiate jail life. 'My cellmate J, who – despite spending half of every day inside a shared birdcage and being sentenced to a decade away from his six kids who he loved – tolerates the clutter of all my papers, shares his unique wisdom and doesn't hesitate to humble me when I need it.' Of the jail itself, he writes in thought number 10: 'The MDC staff and CO's (corrections officers), who are nothing like what The Shawshank Redemption or The Stanford Prison Experiment had me to believe. 'While the occasional minor dissent arises, I've found that they are people too and largely there to help.' Mangione's job cleaning showers was revealed by short-term cellmate Michael Daddea, who spent two weeks at MDC. In a now deleted video on X, he said he found Mangione welcoming, saying: 'Luigi is standing there and he's like, 'Hey, how's it going?' Like, super nice. Introduced himself to me first thing,' he said. Daddea, accused of 3D-printing at least 25 untraceable 'ghost guns' similar to the weapon allegedly used to kill Thompson, added Mangione was a 'collie'. 'So, a collie could be like a unit boss that tells you what cell you're going to. Luigi just happened to be a collie that cleans the showers,' he said. Daddea was arrested at his parents' house at Weeki Wachee, about 60 miles north of Tampa, Florida, and transferred to New York before being released on $250,000 bail. He was reluctant to talk further about Mangione when spoke with him at the single-family rural home. He said his attorney had advised him to take down the X posting about the alleged killer – and he told us he was fighting the accusations against him.

Nightmarish Mad Max street races and explosions spread to third Dem-run city after Oakland and Kansas City
A Pennsylvania town was plagued with Mad Max-esque scenes over the weekend following an illegal street takeover similar to ones seen in other Democrat led cities. Between 50 to 100 people held up traffic in Plymouth Township, a suburb of Philadelphia, on Sunday as they drove in circles at speed around an intersection. Surveillance cameras captured the disorder at the intersection of Ridge Pike, Chemical Road and North Lane. Clips shared by the local police department show several cars recklessly driving in circles at high speeds, as people hang from the windows of the vehicles. Fireworks can also be seen being left off in the middle of the road, as drivers not involved in the disorder are forced to wait at stop lights for the situation to end. Officers arrived on the scene with the vehicles and the crowds that had gathered to observe the lawlessness then fleeing the area. Police said they are investigating the incident and are engaging with state and regional authorities to identify the participants. The township is the latest to fall to the dystopian scenes seen in other parts of the country including Oakland, California, and Kansas City, Missouri. Clips shared by the local police department show several cars recklessly driving in circles at high speeds, as people hang from the windows of the vehicles Images of the areas have led to headlines linking the behavior with the Mad Max film franchise due to the number of street-racing gangs that are terrorizing locals. The Mad Max movies saw a 'road warrior' played by Mel Gibson fight off evil gangs on bikes and cars while being chased through post-apocalyptic Australia. In Oakland in the early hours of Sunday, one person was left critically injured due to a street takeover that resulted in numerous cars being set ablaze. Fireworks were thrown from vehicles, similar to the incident in Pennsylvania, and businesses were vandalized as the meet ups took over the city. Footage from the meets saw a blue Chevy Camaro covered in spray paint, crashed and then set alight before exploding into a fireball. A silver Infiniti with a missing back wheel spun donuts nearby as onlookers whooped with excitement at the exceptionally disturbing scene. Reports indicate that one person was critically injured at the car shows, however it is unclear how they were wounded, and no arrests were made. Residents say the meet ups have been a problem for years, with law enforcement even admitting they were too overwhelmed to address the issue on Sunday. Police said they had been dealing with anti-ICE protests that had descended into chaos. Kansas City residents meanwhile have been forced to stay in doors due to the area becoming a hotspot for illegal street racing and reckless ATV and dirt bike riders. Business owners have also been left weighing up whether to abandon the area altogether, blaming Democratic mayor Quinton Lucas and law enforcement. Business owner David Lopez told Fox last month: 'This isn't a race issue, this isn't a political issue, this is a safety issue. 'I feel as though this city is about unsafe as it's been since my family has been at 207 Southwest Boulevard, and that's 45 years this September.' 'When things out of your control start to chip away at the very foundation of what you've done for four generations, it hurts.' Bradley Gilmore, owner of Lula's Southern Cookhouse, has watched as crime has risen and police presence evaporate. He said: 'It's incredibly disappointing to witness the continued lack of police presence and response in our neighborhood.' The police department is also being forced to cut their budgets to make up a $14.6 million shortfall in finances after paying out two federal lawsuits. The ongoing issues were pushed into the public eye when an ATV rider slammed into a police officer in the downtown area, the cop was hospitalized with head injuries. Kendall Coleman was indicted last month on charges of first-degree assault, and aggravated fleeing from a stop or detention. If convicted of the charges, Coleman could face decades in prison, according to KMBC. Speaking with the Daily Mail last month, Mayor Lucas slammed the gangs, but rejected claims he's responsible for the city's collapse. Lucas said the problem was under control, that Kansas City could 'handle this moment' and that a police recruitment drive would get more officers on the streets in the coming months. 'More than anything, we need to make sure that there are real consequences for those who are engaging in reckless and foolish behavior in downtown Kansas City and all around our community', he added.
