There is a Facebook post that has gone viral among residents of Dalton from a woman who reports that she was threatened by four Hispanic juvenile males at the West Walnut Avenue Kroger on Monday night. In the Facebook post she says that she felt surrounded by the males while shopping in one of the aisles and felt threatened. In the post, she says that the males fled after a store employee approached.
