East Drexel Road and South Palo Verde Road, June 16, 9:38 p.m.
A convenience-store clerk phoned authorities after a fidgety woman blew up at her because she told the woman to leave the store, a Pima County Sheriff's Department report said.
According to the report, the Circle K clerk at 5818 S. Palo Verde Road said she was keeping an eye on the woman because she was acting suspiciously.
This allegedly prompted the woman to ask the clerk, "What, bitch, do you have a problem?"
The clerk told deputies she instructed the woman to leave when the woman asked the question again. The woman reportedly ignored the clerk and brought a candy bar and soda up to the counter for purchase. The report said the employee confiscated the items and again told her to leave.
"You fucking bitch!" the woman allegedly exclaimed before she reportedly lobbed a tin of Altoids at the clerk, striking her in the face.
The employee moved behind the counter for cover as the woman picked up a display of roses and threw them, missing her, the report said.
The woman allegedly screamed and yelled before she grabbed a donation box for the poor and dumped its contents on the floor.
At this point, the report said, the employee told the woman she was calling the police. The woman said she didn't care and ran out of the store, stated the record.
The clerk said she was uninjured and provided a description of the woman to deputies.
