NEW CASTLE COUNTY, Del. - A Delaware woman is facing numerous charges after she reportedly created a panic inside of a store on Friday.
New Castle County police responded to a call regarding disorderly conduct happening at the Brookside Shopping Center on Marrows Ride.
When officers arrived, they learned the call was about a woman who was inside the store screaming and using profanity. Witnesses told authorities that the woman was telling everyone she had tested positive for COVID-19 and she didn't care who she infected.
People fled the store trying to avoid the woman, according to authorities.
