Goods had to be destroyed
By the time they got there, the woman had adorned herself with jewelry sold by the store and had also licked it.
According to Chris Fiore, the suspect, 53-year-old Jennifer Walker, had filled her cart with a variety of products, including meat and the alcohol, that she couldn’t afford to pay.
She was placed in police custody for vandalism, the licked goods having to be destroyed for fear of contamination with the Covid-19.
