Police responded to a suspicious person at a store on Frazier Avenue. Officers were flagged down by the store manager. He said a woman had been coming in and out of the store harassing customers all night. Officers spoke with the woman and explained the manager would like her to leave the property. The woman began to cuss and yell at the officers. Because she was being non-compliant to commands and beginning to become belligerent, the woman was detained to prevent the situation from escalating more while officers confirmed her identity. Once the investigation was complete officers told the woman she needed to leave the property once again. The store manager said he did not want to trespass her tonight; he only wanted her to leave the property and stop harassing customers.
