Woman arrested in toy store melee

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/12/14/BAGD03N1RO1.DTL

A woman was arrested outside a popular Berkeley toy store Thursday after • she hit
a customer in the face with a box of Legos, shoved a second shopper and • kicked a
third, police said Saturday.

Berkeley Police Officer Kevin Schofield said officers caught up with the • woman,
whom they identified as Tonita Wiemels, 39, after she locked herself in • her car
outside Mr. Mopps' Children's Books and Toys at 1405 Martin Luther King • Jr. Way.

Wiemels ignored numerous police demands that she get out of the car, a • 1995 Ford
Taurus, Schofield said.

She tried to drive away, hitting one officer in the leg with the car, and
endangered two others by steering toward them, he added.

Police eventually smashed the driver's-side window, removed Wiemels from • the car
and restrained her in a Velcro-fastened nylon sheet called "The Wrap," • Schofield
said.

Police do not know what led to the original altercation inside the store, • he
said.

Wiemels was booked into Berkeley city jail on two felony counts of assault • with
a deadly weapon, two misdemeanor counts of battery, and failing to yield • to an
officer, Schofield said.
