According to Fatima Suarez, who is of Mexican descent, for over a year, a woman has repeatedly visited her family’s home in St. Louis, insulting them, stealing their mail, and damaging their property. The family’s Ring doorbell camera recorded several vidos footage repeatedly showing a woman yelling into the camera, rummaging through their mail, and making racist remarks.

“It scared my family. It scared me,” she stated. “I’ve cried. It was really stressful to see her keep coming back.”
After Suarez posted video footage to TikTok, it went insanely viral, showing a woman repeatedly visiting her family’s St. Louis home. The city’s Circuit Attorney’s Office said in a statement that it “elevated the warrant application related to this case.”
The following day, the woman, Judy Kline from St. Louis, was charged with three criminal counts: burglary, property damage, and unlawful use of a weapon. According to a probable cause statement by the Circuit Attorney’s Office, footage shows Kline “holding a hammer and yelling ‘What the hell are you doing in my home? Get out b—-! Get out! It’s my home!”
Judy Kline Charged For Harassing Family
Suarez stated her family didn’t know Kline. “We’ve never seen her in our lives,” she stated. She is now thanking TikTok users for helping bring light to the situation. “I’ve seen similar stories on TikTok going on, and I thought maybe that would help my family out as well,” she stated. “But I never knew it would blow up like that, and it did. So I’m thankful for everybody that made it viral because now [there’s] going to be hopefully action taken.”
According to Suarez, Kline had been visiting her family’s home since last year. As per the probable cause statement, on January 5, 2022, Kline allegedly used a hammer to break into the house through the basement door window.
Kline “smashed a glass door on a drying machine,” the statement read. “The victim stated that once inside, [Kline] yelled insults at him, while holding the hammer over her head.” A report from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department stated that Kline was arrested that day and charged with aggravated burglary and property damage.
The woman was also “served with an ex parte order of protection involving a petitioner who resides at the same address as this incident.”
“This matter is scheduled for an Adult Abuse Hearing on February 15, 2023.” The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department told news outlets that Kline “is not currently in custody.”
In a statement, the city’s Circuit Attorney’s Office stated, “when cases are submitted by the police, the SLMPD [St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department] determines the public safety threat to evaluate whether the case should be reviewed within 24 hours of the application for an arrest warrant.”
“The CAO has elevated the warrant application related to this case, and is awaiting the video evidence that was not initially submitted, and that is now circulating on the Internet.”
Suarez stated she previously sent the videos to the authorities. “At one point, I wanted to become part of the justice system, like a cop or something,” she noted, “but because of how they are with other people, how they treat other people, how they don’t care about cases. … I don’t really trust them as much anymore.”
