Via a report obtained by The Smoking Gun, Wright was confronted by a pair of loss prevention specialists as she was trying to leave a Walmart in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Wright then bit down on another employee’s finger, biting a portion of it off.

A third witness tried to call 911, but the suspect knocked her cell phone away and grabbed her hair.

The victim reported that, along with another loss prevention officer, she had attempted to stop Wright from leaving the store after they noticed her hiding merchandise.

Wright, pictured above, tussled with the two female Walmart staffers, punching one woman in the head, “causing bleeding around her left ear”. According to police reports, the woman dropped her phone, and before she could pick it up, Wright grabbed it and would not let it go. She has been charged with aggravated assault, a felony, simple assault, and larceny.

Wright ran into the parking lot and approached a gold minivan and told the driver to “run”. The staffer who lost part of her digit was attended to by arriving EMS workers but the police report indicates that it “was not able to be reattached”. They included condoms, lubricant, panties, a bra and other items of clothing. He told police that when Wright got into the auto, she told him to “run”.

Last March, Wright was convicted of battering a co-worker with a “clear plastic high-heeled shoe” during a confrontation at Chez Joey, a Myrtle Beach strip club. She’s jailed on $51,000 bond.
