A woman accused of urinating on potatoes at a West Mifflin, Pennsylvania Walmart turned herself in to police on Tuesday, according to authorities.
Police say the woman, identified as 20 year old Grace, was charged with misdemeanor open lewdness, along with summary counts of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. The charges stem from an incident on July 24. According to Fox News, West Mifflin police identified her using photos taken from store surveillance footage.
Walmart said in a written statement that a store employee witnessed the behavior. A spokesperson said the company takes customer safety seriously, called the conduct outrageous, and said the affected products were thrown out and the area was sanitized right away.
Grace had not addressed the charges publicly at the time of this report. Her attorney told reporters she is embarrassed and described the incident as a mistake. He said she works full time, graduated from high school and plans to move forward.
The case arrives after a wave of viral videos over the past two months showing people tampering with food, drinks and household items in stores.
