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.

Amber Leah Thompson from Winnipeg has been charged with theft under $5,000, assault and uttering threats cause. She remains in custody.
