NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) -- A woman was arrested after stealing a wig from a beauty store and fighting with the store owner in an attempt to get away with it.
The 70-year-old father was back behind the counter, despite being punched, his store owner son was there too, even though he was bitten trying to catch the shoplifter.
"She started swinging at me and she hit me on the right side of my face and knocked my glasses off," store owner Jongyol Lee said.
They've been running the New Haven beauty store Sassy on Chapel for a decade and shoplifting happens nearly everyday. However, this time they were taking a stand over a $15 clearance wig.
Store surveillance shows the suspect leaving and the elderly man chasing her.
"When somebody is caught stealing like that usually they are shamed publicly, they drop it and leave," said Lee, "but in this case she continued on her way."
They followed the woman out of the store, across the street and all the way down the block.
"The length of a full block she just kept hitting me and smacking the back of my head," Lee said, "she kicked me a few times in my back."
The woman is Lowpel Davis, described by police as crazed kicking and struggling with officers who arrived on the scene.
Davis appeared calm in court, and seemingly unaware of the anger she stirred.
"We've been trying not to get involved like this," Lee said, "but emotions sometimes get heated, sometimes you can't walk away."
When police responded around 3:30 p.m. Davis was “crazed,” in front of the Giaimo Federal Building at 150 Court St., struggled with four federal protective service officers and kicked and swore at New Haven police, police said.
When officers handcuffed Davis, she tried to kick out the window of a police car and was eventually transferred to a windowless prisoner transportation van.
Officers were taken to area hospitals to be evaluated for bites and other injuries sustained during the struggle.
The store owner was taken by ambulance to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where he received treatment for his bite wound and facial injury.
The charges against Davis include the following: sixth-degree larceny, breach of peace in the second degree, criminal mischief in the first degree, assault in the second degree and two counts of assault on police officers.
She appeared in court where her bond was set at $150,000. Davis’ case will continue on July 11.
