(ETH) – A woman in South Carolina has been arrested after allegedly licking her hands and touching food items along with several surfaces at a local grocery store and sandwich shop. According to a report from Fox 5, Shenir Gibson Holliday was reportedly taken into custody on Saturday after local Sumter police responded to reports of a suspicious person at an IGA grocery store.
According to Police, surveillance footage from the store allegedly showed Holliday, 38, licking her hands and coughing before touching food items and freezer doors inside the grocery store. The arrest came after the manager of a Sub Station II sandwich shop stated that they saw the woman licking coins and putting them back in the shop’s tip jar the previous week.
According to the shop’s manager, the woman also licked her hands before handing money over to the clerk and touched the shop’s debit card machine. The woman was placed on trespass notice for all Sub Station II sandwich shops and charged with aggravated breach of peace and food tampering. Holliday is also being held at a detention center on a $100,000 bond.
