Woman Arrested In Hanover PA, Allegedly Coughed, Spit On Produce

[Alf]

HANOVER TOWNSHIP, Pa. (WNEP/CNN) - A 35-year-old Pennsylvania woman is facing multiple charges after police said she purposely coughed on food at a grocery store.

Employees had to sanitize everything and throw away thousands of dollars worth of food.

“Your bail is $50,000 straight. This is a copy of your criminal complaint, arrest warrant affidavit,” District Judge Joseph Halesey told Margaret Cirko, inside a police vehicle.

Police said Cirko went into Gerrity’s Supermarket on Wednesday afternoon and deliberately and violently coughed and spit on food throughout the store before trying to steal a case of beer.

Employees of the store attempted to stop her while she continued to cough and spit on produce and meat, but she kept yelling, “I have the virus. You’re all going to get sick.”

Gerrity’s supermarket worked with the Hanover Township Health Department and determined everything she came into contact with had to be thrown away.

Important question: why, though???
Psychotic episode or nah?

 

[Symmachus]

Clearly a bad-faith effort on her part. She makes the problem worse. Regardless of if she has Covid-19 or not, she can still pass on unsavory germs to others. Evil.

 

[Babs]

What a wack job. Toss her into a deep pit with contaminated hospital masks, gloves, bed pans, soiled sheets, etc. Leave her there till she passes out, then burn it all.

 

[Sevens My Charm]

We're dying with food shortages here and this bitch was contaminating food.. she better be glad there wasn't lynching!!

 

[redboner]

1) 35 is old enough to not do that kind of stuff anymore.

2) making a “covid19” scene probably wasn’t helpful in helping her stealthily avoid getting caught shoplifting beer.

3) even in light of the two above-mentioned circumstances, I’m still siding with her over the hysterical, overzealous, overreaching pigs who’re irresponsibly peddling this crock-o-shit “Coronavirus” fear-mongering...it’s a joke, and the majority of cattle who enforce it and/or buy into it are two fucking dumb to even be ashamed of their own childish behavior.

4) the thought of beating Elizabeth Warren to death with a baseball bat studded with rusty nails gives me a rock-hard boner.

The incident happened Wednesday at the Gerrity's Supermarket in Hanover Township, according to a post on the small chain's Facebook page. Co-owner Joe Fasula said a the woman "came into the store and proceeded to purposely cough on our fresh produce, and a small section of our bakery, meat case and grocery."

Fasula said the estimated value of the lost food is "well over $35,000." He added police are investigating and the district attorney's office is involved. Fasula added efforts are being made to have the woman tested for coronavirus, though she is not believed to be infected.

The Hanover Township Police Department confirmed it was investigating the incident in a Facebook post late Wednesday. The department said the woman has been identified and is being evaluated at a local hospital "for a mental health evaluation." Police said criminal charges will be filed in the incident.

Store workers got the woman out of the supermarket as quickly as possible, Fasula said. He added more than 15 employees were involved in the disposal of the food and clean-up of the store.

"I am also absolutely sick to my stomach about the loss of food," Fasula said. "While it is always a shame when food is wasted, in these times when so many people are worried about the security of our food supply, it is even more disturbing."

Fasula said the store threw out all of the food the woman came into contact with and disinfected the areas she was in.

"While there is little doubt this woman was doing it as a very twisted prank, we will not take any chances with the health and well-being of our customers," he said.

Every time I read something like this I feel that these bastards should be prosecuted under special rules for special circumstances, the way looting is treated during tornadoes.
