A woman who set off a security alarm while leaving a store at Portage Place is in custody after assaulting one security guard and spitting on another.
A security guard approached the 28-year old Thursday after the alarm went off, so she pulled a box of perfume out of her bag and ran.
Police said she then threatened to stab the security guard with a needle and punched him. The woman was taken into custody. A needle was later found within her personal property.
While in a security holding room, police say the woman spit twice in the face of a second security guard. Officers arrived shortly after and arrested the woman.
Police believe she was high on methamphetamine.
