AKRON, Ohio — A woman who denied shoplifting while stuffing items in her shirt bit a store employee after being confronted, according to court records.

Tarrena M. Grant, 34, is charged with second-degree felony robbery in Akron Municipal Court. A warrant is out for Grant's arrest.

Grant is accused of stuffing items into her clothes on Nov. 26 at the Kenmore Boulevard Family Dollar.

A 26-year-old store employee confronted Grant.

Grant denied stealing items but the employee told police it was obvious the woman had items in her clothes.

The employee told Grant to take the merchandise out of her clothes, police reports say. Grant then shoved the woman and tried to run out of the store, according to police.

The employee stood in front of Grant, who bit the employee on the right arm, police reports say. She also grabbed and scratched the woman's throat.

Grant fled the store initially but returned because she left her jacket and car keys on the floor during the fight.
