NORFOLK, Va. — Charges are pending against a woman who police say repeatedly threatened store employees at a Norfolk Wawa.
Officers were called to the store located at 3360 East Princess Anne Road around 2 a.m. Thursday. It was the third time that night police had been called out to the Wawa in regards to the suspect, who had fled the previous two times before officers arrived.
Police said Dorothy R. Maddrey of Norfolk was reportedly armed and had threatened workers in the store.
Following the third call, police found Maddrey parked in her vehicle nearby. Officers confronted her and ordered her from the car. At one point, one officer's firearm discharged into her vehicle.
Maddrey was taken into custody without further incident. Neither Maddrey nor any of the officers were hurt during the arrest.
Police said she was charged with trespassing. She was released on a personal recognizance bond.
The Norfolk Police Department is investigating the actions of the officer involved in this incident.
