Woman Accused Of Stabbing Walmart Employees

Two Walmart loss prevention employees were injured over the weekend in an alleged attack.

Dawn Michelle Lee, 35, who has no address listed in court papers, is accused of assaulting and stabbing the workers after they detained her for retail theft, according to Tullytown police.

Lee is charged with several counts of aggravated assault, simple assault, retail theft, receiving stolen property and related offenses.

On Saturday afternoon, Walmart employees stopped Lee as she was spotted trying to take a 60-inch TV worth about $900. The 35 year old put the TV in a cart and tried to walk out of the store before being stopped by loss prevention.

As she waited in the loss prevention office, Lee began assaulting the two security employees with a sharp object, police allege.

Lee escaped and drove off in a gray car, which was stopped by Tullytown police on Route 13, police said. The two people in the car were detained until a Walmart employee came to the scene and identified Lee.

A female Bensalem officer responded to Tullytown to search Lee. A hypodermic needle and several wax papers containing a white powder residue were found, court papers state.

During an interview with police, Lee reportedly admitted to the assault and said she was trying to take the TV because she did not have money for it.

When asked if she was sorry for her actions, Lee said, “no, not really,” according to court documents.

Chief of Police Daniel Doyle told LevittownNow.com the investigation into what Lee used to stab the Walmart workers was ongoing as of Monday.

The Walmart employees suffered injuries to their hands, forearm and abdomens, police said.

Lee was arraigned before an on-call district judge and sent to Bucks County prison on 10 percent of $100,000 bail.
