According to law enforcement officials, the woman came to the supermarket as it was closing, attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages.
After being refused service, she began hurling profanities at the staff, and on her way out, she kicked the lower part of the store’s door, causing property damage.
Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, established the circumstances of the incident, detained the offender in accordance with Article 298-2 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, and tested her for intoxication.
