LOS ANGELES: A California woman has been arrested after licking US$1,800 worth of groceries and other items at a supermarket in the northern part of the state, police said Wednesday (Apr 8).
Chris Fiore, spokesman for the South Lake Tahoe police department, near the border with Nevada, told AFP that officers were called to the Safeway store on Tuesday following reports of "a customer licking groceries" at a time of heightened fears over the spread of the highly contagious novel coronavirus.
