While working an extra job at Hamilton Place Mall, an officer was informed by CBL security that the manager of a mall store wanted to speak with them. The officer met with the manager who said she wanted to make a police report regarding another woman who has been causing her problems. The manager said the other woman has been messaging her husband inappropriately and was told to stop. The manager said since then, the other woman has been showing up to her store and bothering her. She said the woman has not made any threats or been disorderly, rather just her being there after the incident previously mentioned has been causing the manager issues. On the manager's behalf, the officer contacted the phone number provided that supposedly belongs to the other woman. The officer spoke with a woman who identified herself to be the other woman’s sister. The officer told her to tell the other woman to stay away from the manager and her place of business. The sister said she would tell the other woman.
