Woman Arrested For Putting Razor Blades Inside Loaves of Bread at Walmart Stores in Mississippi

A Texas woman was arrested and charged after she hid razor blades and fish hooks in loaves of bread at Walmart stores in Biloxi, Mississippi.

33-year-old Camille Benson is accused of putting almost a dozen razor blades inside loaves of bread at two Walmart stores.

Benson’s crime spree began on December 5 after a customer found a razor blade in a banana nut muffin.

Investigators initially thought it was an isolated event; however, two days later, a customer at a neighboring Walmart discovered a razor inside a loaf of bread.

A week later, multiple loaves of bread were found with razor blades hidden in them. A fishhook was found in another loaf of bread.

Benson was charged with attempted mayhem and jailed with a $100,000 bond.

The Biloxi Police Department identified the suspect as 33-year-old Camille Benson, of Texas, who was charged with attempted mayhem, the local station said. She is currently in jail with a bond set at $100,000, the outlet added.

Over the course of more than a week, several customers reportedly found razor blades in their purchased bread at two nearby locations, a Walmart Supercenter and a Walmart Neighborhood Market.

The first complaint was made on Dec. 5 at the Supercenter, where a customer told employees that they had found a razor blade in their purchased loaf, The Associated Press (AP) reported. A similar complaint followed at the Neighborhood Market on Dec. 8, the outlet added.

Six days later, another customer complained at the Supercenter on Dec. 14, prompting employees to inspect the merchandise, where they discovered several additional tampered loaves, the AP reported, citing law enforcement officials.
