A shoplifting complaint at Shoppers in Chatham turned into a handful for Chatham-Kent Police.
Authorities were called to the Queen Street drug store last night after a woman allegedly hid two cosmetic gift boxes worth about $186 in her purse before leaving the store.
Police found the woman walking down Queen, but when they tried to stop her, she refused, started swearing at the officers, and put up a fight as they placed her under arrest.
The 36-year-old has been charged with theft, possession of stolen property, and resisting arrest.
