DUNBAR, S.C., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A Dunbar, S.C., woman who allegedly wiped her nose on a police corporal's shirt has been charged with battery on a police officer.

Cpl. S.E. Elliott said he arrested Georgia Ann Newman after responding to a call at a residence and witnessing her bite a man at his elbow, the Charleston (S.C) Daily Mail reported Friday. A criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court said Newman spat in the man's face after he pulled away.
