Kristie Chapman, 43 of Manchester, NH was caught allegedly stealing two cans of Twisted Tea from a Cumberland Farms at 275 Hanover Street late Wednesday night.

Officer Martens found Chapman and tried to stop her as she fled. She threw a can of Twisted Tea at his face before being wrestled to the ground. She was finally subdued, but remained combative and hostile with officers as she was arrested.

Another office was kicked in the shin before she was placed in a cruiser.

Chapman was charged with theft by unauthorized taking - which was upgraded to a felony based on the fact she had three prior theft convictions - two counts simple assault and resisting arrest/detention. She is scheduled for a probable cause hearing on November 23 at the 9th Circuit Court in Manchester.
