This Bites
"A 25-year-old homeless woman was arrested at the Ala Moana Center last night after she allegedly bit a store security officer who was trying to detain her for suspicion of shoplifting.
Police said the security officer told them he saw the woman put several items in her handbag, then watched her go to another aisle of the store, take several more items off a shelf and go to a cash register.
The security officer said the woman paid for the second batch of items, but not the ones in her handbag. He said he followed the woman out of the store, identified himself and told her she was being detained for shoplifting.
The store officer told police the woman tried to walk away and that he took hold of her wrist while attempting to handcuff her. He said the woman bit him on the right wrist but he was able to subdue and restrain her until police arrived.
Police then arrested the woman on suspicion of third-degree assault and fourth-degree theft."
