Texas Woman Bites Wisconsin Officer In Laundromat Flap

SHOREWOOD, WI — A woman who was reportedly causing a disturbance at a Wisconsin laundromat, simply wouldn't leave, and later bit an officer as she was being escorted to a squad car during her arrest.

On Thursday, July 20, Shorewood Police responded to the "My Laundromat" for a complaint of a woman causing a disturbance with other customers there.

Police reported that upon their arrival, the officer located that woman and later identified her as Toya Chanee Butler of Austin, Texas, her criminal complaint stated.

Police reported that the two Shorewood police officers identified themselves to Butler during the incidents, yet after several failed attempts to get Butler to leave, she was finally arrested.

While attempting to place Butler in the squad car, she reportedly tried to resist by using her legs to push against the squad car in the opposite direction, making it difficult for the officers to place her in the rear of the squad, her criminal complaint stated.

When lifting Butler into the squad car one officer was between Butler and the squad car’s door. It was at that moment when the officer felt Butler bite him in the left bicep, causing pain, without consent, leaving a bruised mark on the officer’s arm, her criminal complaint stated.

Butler was arrested for resisting an officer, and battery to a law enforcement officer.

If convicted, she faces up to 3 years behind bars.
