This morning, the Ferguson Police Department identified Darren Wilson as the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. last weekend. During an interview with Don Lemon of CNN, a woman detailed her encounter with Wilson, who she says told her to "shut the f*** up" and "sit the f*** down" after she was allegedly maced last month: 


I was maced and I had come up to QuickTrip because they said I could use their sink. So I was trying to clean out my eyes with some water and one of the employees told me to go get some milk, because that would help. So as I was pouring milk in my eyes, the officers had come in and told me to get out.

She goes on to say that Wilson did not arrest her:

No, I wasn't arrested. When I got in my car and turned the air on and put my face in front of the vent. Wilson made me get out of the car and sit on the concrete and he took all my information and ran my name. And I was still trying to pour the milk in my eyes because I couldn't see, and he's telling me to 'shut the F up' and 'sit the f down' and I was looking at his name tag and I was telling myself that I would never forget who he was and what he did to me.

Lastly, she says that she knew it was Wilson once his name was released this morning. "I'm OK now," she tells Lemon. "And I saw the news this morning when they released his name. I knew exactly who he was and I know who he is right now."
