Police Arrest Woman Suspected of Biting Two People Inside Store
Police have arrested a 30-year-old woman suspected of biting two people at a Denver convenience store. The incident occurred about 10:30 p.m. Monday at the Barn Store at 4650 Tower Road.
Police say it's one of the most unusual crimes they've seen.
Emi Leyonia Coleman is accused of biting a store employee on the neck after asking the woman for a hug. She faces felony charges for the attacks.
“I reached over (the counter) and gave her a hug. She had her face here (on her shoulder). I didn’t think anything of it. She latched on it. She was shaking like a pit bull that just got a piece of steak,” says store clerk Alice Gonzalez.
Gonzalez says Coleman also groped and bit a customer.
She says Coleman took the man's drink and drank it, and then backed him up over a counter.
"She started touching him again," Gonzalez says. "All of a sudden, he had a shocked look on his face."
Police say it's no joking matter.
“You have no right to do that. It’s an infringement on them. It’s an assault. It’s a crime,” says Sonny Jackson, Denver Police spokesman.
