Officers respond after a teen cashier reports a woman threatened him with a knife while attempting to shoplift from a pharmacy. Police locate a suspect matching the description nearby and begin questioning her about the incident. Officers advise they received a report she may be armed and attempt to pat down for safety. The woman becomes verbally confrontational, repeatedly accusing officers of threatening to kill her and refusing commands. When a pocket knife is recovered, officers move to place her under arrest. During a search, she begins resisting and kicking, forcing officers to take her to the ground to gain control. Police state the force was necessary to ensure safety while the suspect alleges mistreatment during detention. She was charged with aggravated menacing, obstruction, and battery on an officer. The suspect remains innocent unless proven guilty in court.
