According to WLTX19, 38-year-old Shenir Gibson Holliday faces multiple criminal charges including aggravated breach of peace and food tampering. Investigators believe she not only purposely spread germs to grocery store fixtures and retail merchandise, but she also muddied coins and cash she used to pay for a sandwich at a fast-food restaurant.
Law enforcement responded to a call indicating a suspicious person at the IGA grocery store on Pinewood Road, on Saturday, May 2, 2020. Surveillance video shows Holliday allegedly licking her hands and coughing before touching various things at the grocery store such as freezer doors, and food items. The police believe she also exhibited the same behavior in the dry-goods section of the market.
