Intoxicated woman with Taser, drugs arrested at 6 Salon
An intoxicated Detroit woman was arrested at a hair salon for possessing cocaine, heroin and a Taser after she showed up there Jan. 11.
Police said the woman, 33, walked into the salon at 306 W. Sixth Street and requested a haircut.
But employees told police she was acting as though she was under the influence of something and used the bathroom at the salon.
“They asked her to leave and she wouldn’t,” said Royal Oak police Lt. Richard Millard. “When we got there she lied to us about her name because she had warrants” out for her arrest.
The woman was wanted on a felony drug-related warrant from another city, police said.
Police said the woman was carrying drugs and a Taser. It is illegal to carry a Taser without a concealed dangerous weapon permit.
Millard said the woman created a scene in the salon before she was arrested and taken to the police station.

The incident happened around 9 a.m. Thursday.
Police said Friday they have no idea why the woman’s son, 60, sprayed his mother’s friend.
