A Suffolk County woman arrested for stealing from the Massapequa Walmart on Friday later assaulted an emergency responder when she began to feel ill, police say.

In addition to petty larceny, Trinidad is also charged with second degree assault. She will be arraigned on Saturday, at First District Court in Hempstead.
