Just before 4:00 p.m., management at Family Dollar, 417 S. Broadway Street, attempted to detain a female, later identified as Misty M.

Upon fleeing in a vehicle, officers stopped Harris, who claimed to be someone else, a few blocks from the store and recovered the stolen items. During the stop, officers noticed something in Harris’ hand and asked her about it. She immediately placed the item in her mouth and swallowed it. Harris was arrested and transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where she is being held in lieu of a $3,000 bond. Her arraignment hearing is set for 1:30 p.m. on 3/08/2015 in Washington County’s General Sessions Court.
