Woman Bites Indiana Librarians in ScuffleA woman bit two librarians who tried to stop her after she allegedly stole about $70 from the Crawfordsville (Ind.) District Public Library’s cash drawer September 20.Librarian Debbie Barry said she saw the woman grab the money while a male accomplice asked for help finding a book, the Crawfordsville Journal Review reported September 22. “If she’d have just dropped the money I would have been happy,” Barry said. “But she wouldn’t do it and that made me mad because it’s happened before and we’re tired of it.” Barry and fellow librarian Christina Crouch chased the two outside, where they wrestled with the woman, Anna M. Davis. The man, Kevin T. Kamradt, eventually pulled Davis free, but not before she bit Crouch’s chest and Barry’s thumb. “When I grabbed her it was kind of stupid,” Barry said. “What I should have done was yanked her hair and sat on her, but I didn’t think of it at the time.” Police arrested the couple a few minutes later. Neither Crouch nor Barry required stitches, and the two returned to work September 22. Posted September 29, 2003. |
