On April 15 at 10:44 p.m., a woman entered a business in the 4200 block of Fairfax Drive and began eating food items when an employee confronted her, Arlington police said.
A verbal dispute ensued and the suspect threw merchandise, striking the employee, before briefly leaving the store, police said.
The suspect then returned, went behind the counter and made threatening statements toward the employee before again exiting, police said. The suspect then struck the glass door to the business, causing it to shatter, before fleeing the scene on foot, police said.
Responding officers located the suspect in the area of Fairfax Drive and North Stuart Street and detained her. While in custody, the suspect was non-compliant and kicked an officer, police said.
The suspect – 40-year-old Angela Hiner of Fredericksburg – was arrested and charged with assault on police, assault-and-battery, destruction of property (two counts), shoplifting, obstruction of justice and public intoxication. She was held without bond.
