A woman has been arrested after allegedly striking and spitting on store security at a Korah Rd. business, police say.

On Thursday, police say the accused selected items from a business in the 500 block of Korah Rd. and left without attempting to pay. When store security stopped the accused, it is alleged she struck and spit on them.

As a result, Kathleen Allen, 46, has been charged with assault, resisting arrest and theft under $5,000.

She is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 1, 2021.
