Police Arrest Suspect In Convenience Store Neck Biting

DENVER (CBS4) - Denver police have arrested a woman accused of biting two people at a Denver convenience store.

Emi Leyonia Coleman, 30, faces two counts of third-degree assault and also a charge of unlawful sexual conduct.

The incident happened at about 10:30 p.m. last Monday at the Barn Store at 4650 Tower Road in Denver.

Police said Coleman walked into the store and approached a customer. She then groped the man in what's being described as an unlawful sexual contact and bit him on the neck.

Coleman then allegedly asked the store clerk for a hug. She then bit that woman on the neck, according to police.

The clerk told police the woman had been in the store on a semi-regular basis but seemed a little drunk when she walked into the store.

Both the clerk and the customer were checked out and are okay.
