A grocery store in northeastern Pennsylvania had to throw away an estimated $35,000-worth of products after a woman went through the store coughing on food in what the store's co-owner called a "twisted prank."

The incident happened Wednesday at the Gerrity's Supermarket in Hanover Township, according to a post on the small chain's Facebook page. Co-owner Joe Fasula said a the woman "came into the store and proceeded to purposely cough on our fresh produce, and a small section of our bakery, meat case and grocery."

Fasula said the estimated value of the lost food is "well over $35,000." He added police are investigating and the district attorney's office is involved. Fasula added efforts are being made to have the woman tested for coronavirus, though she is not believed to be infected.

The Hanover Township Police Department confirmed it was investigating the incident in a Facebook post late Wednesday. The department said the woman has been identified and is being evaluated at a local hospital "for a mental health evaluation." Police said criminal charges will be filed in the incident.

7. Make her pay for what the store's insurance doesn't cover.

8. No, I think she should pay for all of it.

"You break it, you bought it."

There should be as many charges as possible leveled at people who do this: public nuisance, public health danger, vandalism, and on and on. She's not the first to intentionally contaminate food this way. Heavy consequences might make the next sociopath in line think twice about it.

9. Hmmm. I think you've made a good point.

She's obviously not quite right in the head.
