TikToker Tierra Allen from San Diego, California who now lives in Houston, Texas, was in the United Arab Emirates city for vacation when she was detained by police during an altercation with a car rental company. During her stay in the popular holiday destination, the 29-year-old influencer was involved in a minor car accident with her rental. Luckily neither she nor her friend, who was driving the car, were injured. But the car was impounded along with its contents including Tierra's personal possessions; credit cards, debit cards and cellphone. When she visited the rental car's office the next day to retrieve her possessions, the manager refused to give these back and asked for money in exchange for them. The manager proceeded to call the police who detained the woman and kept her from returning to the US, according to a civil justice organisation called Detained in Dubai. Ms Allen told the organisation: "The manager was being rude and mean to me. I felt so scared. He followed me outside the office and I felt very intimidated. "I told him to stop but instead, he called the police and opened a case against me, apparently for 'screaming'. I am in shock that he frightened me, I told him to stop, and now the police have said I can't go home. "I told them I had a medical emergency and needed to return to the US but they wouldn't let me. I've now found out that the police could keep me here for months while they decide whether to prosecute me and if they do, I could go to prison!" Now, police reportedly have confiscated her passport and forbid her to leave the country, while they decide whether to prosecute her. If convicted, Tierra faces up to two years prison sentence, fine and deportation. Radha Stirling, C){kind=link}
