PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Police in Portland say they arrested a woman accused of repeatedly using her hands to grab food from a Mexican restaurant salad bar, ignoring the tongs provided, and then hurling the tongs at a worker who asked her to stop touching the food.

The Oregonian reports (https://is.gd/T8JrNM ) the utensils hit the restaurant worker in the neck.

Police arrested the 49-year-old woman Sunday for investigation of aggravated harassment. They say she spit into an officer’s face after her arrest.
