"I told him I was really sorry and if he moved his
van I would get out of the way," Kalia recalled in
an interview. 

How? 

"They could not speak English, I could not speak
Japanese, we weren't getting anywhere and I
started to get annoyed," 

She kept this guy waiting to get into his own
super expensive parking space for who knows how
long, and SHE gets annoyed with them during an
interview? 

"After a heated exchange, Kalia said she jumped
into her car to escape, but the policeman
forcefully grabbed her arm "so I slapped him two
times across the face." 

Anybody else thinking Rich Bitch? 

Somebody should have slapped her across the face a
couple times a LONG time ago. Might have saved her
a week in the slammer.
