A Louisiana couple, who seemingly appeared to be married, is receiving criticism following the circulation of a video on social media depicting their harassment and assault of a black veteran at the Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City.
A veteran named Devon Leslie Jr. decided to share his experience on Facebook, where he posted a video recounting his time attempting to play the slot machines at the casino.
A woman named Ashley Dison can be seen in the widely circulated video engaging in unwarranted harassment and physical aggression toward him.
Initially, William Dison attempted to calm Ashley down; however, as the video progressed, he succumbed to his prejudiced thoughts and directed a racially offensive term towards Devon.
“Wasn’t sure if I was going to post this, but now that I’ve had time to give it some thought I want it known about these two people! This woman went off on me hit me in the face and kicked me in the back, because I sat to close to her and her boyfriend so this is how I was treated. If you have any idea who these people are I would like to know they both were arrested Thursday night August 3th 2023 her for assault, and him for being to intoxicated! Worse feeling in the world, I did absolutely nothing wrong nor did I defend myself against them, and I honestly feel some type of way because I didn’t! Thanks to the Bossier City Police and the casino for standing up for me!”

A Twitter user named Tizzy Ent posted a video on the platform in an attempt to discover the identity of the couple, which was eventually revealed shortly after he posted it on the social media app.
Many people on social media confirmed that the couple in the video was Ashley and William Dison.

Devon Leslie Jr. confirmed on Facebook that the woman in the video’s name is Ashley Dison.
“Ashley Bieber Dison is the name of the female that assaulted me, she slapped me and kicked me in the back as I sat down and did nothing,” Leslie Jr. stated on Facebook. “I do not know who the guy is.”
Devon Leslie Jr. encourages people on social media to inform the couple’s employers about the incident that occurred earlier this month.
“I hope that anyone that has any idea who they are or where they work at would be amazing to let their employers know who they have working for them,” Leslie Jr. wrote on Facebook. “Please help me get their mug shots they both were arrested on Aug 3rd, 2023 by the Bossier City La police department!”
Ashley and William Dison’s employers have yet to comment on the viral video.
