A black woman accused of stealing a wig from a beauty shop is also accused of biting the store owner as well as the police officers who arrested her

Lowpel Davis, 38, stole a wig from the Sassy Beauty Supply shop. The shop owner saw Davis come into his store with a juvenile girl and then noticed that a wig was missing from a mannequin. He went through surveillance system and saw Davis take the wig and hide it, as well as several other items, in her bag, so he told staff to keep Davis from leaving the shop. It didn't work and Davis fled with the girl. The store owner and his 70-year-old father pursued her and Davis fought back. She punched both men in the face and then bit the store owner’s bicep, taking a chunk of flesh from his arm and then spat it in his face. When police responded Davis was crazed and struggled with four federal protective service officers and kicked and swore at New Haven police. When officers handcuffed Davis, she tried to kick out the window of a police car and was eventually transferred to a windowless prisoner transportation van. Officers were taken to area hospitals to be evaluated for bites and other injuries sustained during the struggle. The store owner was taken by ambulance to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where he received treatment for his bite wound and facial injury. Davis has been charged with sixth-degree larceny, breach of peace in the second degree, criminal mischief in the first degree, assault in the second degree and two counts of assault on police officers. Her bond has been set at $150,000. There is also a pending case against her because of a failure to appear charge.
