Sault police charge woman in multiple assaults at local businesses
A 41-year-old woman is facing a list of charges after unruly behaviour at two Sault Ste. Marie businesses over two days this week.
The first incident allegedly happened Monday at an establishment in the 700-block of Queen Street East, Sault police said in a news release.
The woman is accused of dumping a bag of garbage inside the store, punching an employee, pulling the fire alarm before leaving and stealing a license plate from a vehicle in the parking lot.
Around 3 p.m. the next day, she allegedly smashed windows at another business in the 200-block of Bay Street causing around $1,500 in damage, police said.
While store security detained the accused, she allegedly assaulted staff by pushing and attempting to punch them before police officers arrived.
