Woman Arrested After Supermarket Worker Spat On At Raymond Terrace

BY IAN CROUCH

A woman will face court in July accused of spitting on a worker at a Raymond Terrace supermarket.

The 41-year-old was shopping in the Woolworths store at the Terrace Central Shopping Centre in Glenelg Street at about 9.00pm on Wednesday when a security guard asked her to make her way to the register as the store was about to close.

The woman refused to leave and continued shopping and when the security guard asked her again to make her way to the front of the store, she allegedly spat in his face and began hitting him with her bag.

Staff helped the security officer to escort her from the store.

Police were called and after checking CCTV and interviewing witnesses, attended the woman's Raymond Terrace home where she was arrested.

She's been charged with common assault and offensive behaviour and given conditional bail to face Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday 20 July.
