Last week, Mississippi police arrested a woman who allegedly put razor blades and fishing hooks in bakery items at two Walmart stores.
On December 15, Biloxi police were alerted to razor blades found in bread purchased at Walmart more than a week earlier. A day after the call, police arrested Camille Benson, 33, after releasing surveillance stills of her leaving a Walmart store, according to
Over the course of 11 days, customers at two Biloxi Walmart stores reported finding razor blades in a banana nut muffin and several loaves of bread. Investigators said it was initially believed the incidents were unrelated. That is, until December 15, when managers connected the latest customer complaint to the other incidents.
“They also found a muffin with a fishing hook in it,” Lt. Candice Young told WLOX. “Somebody had poked those items through the plastic packaging.”
No injuries were reported. Despite this, Benson was charged with attempted mayhem.
KABB reported that Benson has a lengthy criminal history in Bexar County, Texas, which dates back to 2019. Her most recent criminal case in Bexar County was for narcotics, though she was previously charged with assault, trespassing, obstruction, and prostitution.
Benson’s bond was set at $100,000.
