Woman Accused Of Carrying Stun Gun In Linden, N.J. Wal-Mart Parking Lot
LINDEN, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- A woman was arrested this week, after another shopper said she pulled a stun gun on her during an argument over a shopping cart in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Linden, N.J.
Latosha Mathis, 34, was charged with illegal possession of a stun gun following the incident on Thanksgiving night.
Around 7:18 p.m. Thursday, a Linden fire captain monitoring the Gray Thursday crowds at the Wal-Mart told an officer that a woman was in possession of a stun gun.
Police said they later learned that a 42-year-old Staten Island woman had been arguing with another woman, when the second woman pulled the stun gun and activated it in a threatening manner.
Mathis, of Elizabeth, N.J., was arrested after the TW-11 stun gun was found in her purse, police said.
She was released on a summons pending a date next Friday in Union County court, police said.
If convicted, she could face a fine of up to $10,000 and up to 18 months in jail.
