An allegedly drunk woman, who was caught stealing from Grocery Outlet in Opp, took a bite out of an Opp Police officer Wednesday.

Opp Police Officer Josh Hudson was called to the Grocery Outlet when employees found a drunken woman shoplifting, according to Assistant Chief Kevin Chance.

During the arrest, an intoxicated Catrina Coon, 38, of Opp, resisted arrest and bit Hudson on his right forearm.

β€œShe broke the skin,” Chance said.

Hudson was treated at Mizell Memorial Hospital, as a precautionary measure.

Coon was charged with theft of property III, resisting arrest, public intoxication and second-degree assault, and held at the Covington County Jail on a $68,000 bond.
