BRADENTON, FL. - Bradenton Police say a 22-year-old woman went on a rampage at Wal-Mart Tuesday night after being questioned about her receipt.
It all happened after 11 pm at the store in the 5300 block of Cortez Road West.
A report from the Bradenton Police Department says Myra Mays walked towards the exit doors with a cart full of items she had not paid for. Officers say when the customer service manager asked where Mays' receipt was, she said she didn't have one and tried to pick up a bar stool in the cart and hit the manager with it. Mays continued to leave the store with 43 items, according to the report, $211 worth of unpaid merchandise.
Store employees continued to try and stop her, when she became loud and got outside the first set of doors. She then knocked over a display of gas grills and caused more than $1k damage to them.
Mays left the store into the parking lot when store officials told her that if she didn't leave, the police would be called...she refused. Mays then overturned shopping carts, ran carts into parked cars and spit on parked cars. Officers say she then spit on two Wal-Mart managers and an employee before she punched them. A report says spit dripped off their shirts.
When the first officer arrived on scene, Mays appeared to comply, but then threw a cell phone at the officer. It took three officers to control Mays and put her into the patrol car, which she then spit all over and kicked the doors.
Officers say Mays then slipped out of the first pair of handcuffs, so they put a pair of flexcuffs and a fabric leg restraint on her. A report says Mays spit then landed on a detective's hand that arrived to speak with her.
A trace amount of marijuana was found inside Mays’ purse, and while being examined by medical staff at the Manatee County Jail, she admitted to ingesting unknown pills and then began to vomit.
Mays is charged with multiple offenses, including Aggravated Assault and Battery.
