Dawood took to Facebook to share the incident on September 22. She started her post by extended her apology to an elderly woman who she says was standing near her when the incident took place. “I apologize to the old lady in the parking lot at PnP when I screamed like a baby, thinking I had a snake coming after me,” she wrote. In the few following lines she explained that what she saw was not a snake. In fact it was not even a living being. It was a braided weave that fell down from someone’s head.
“On the other hand if you lost your braided weave,” she wrote while explaining the truth about then “snake.” “It is in the far left aisle of the PnP parking lot, unharmed and still in one piece,” she wrote and concluded the post.
