Police allege the woman was less than appreciative.

“The woman — who was determined to be intoxicated — was attempting to bite anyone who came close to her,” a police spokesperson said in a statement Monday.

The woman was arrested after police say officers determined she was under court-imposed conditions not to consume alcohol.

A 29-year-old woman from Belleville was charged with breaching conditions.

The woman was held in custody until sober, police say.
