Two sisters were arrested on a slew of charges for getting into a brawl with police officers who approached them asking about an attempted shoplifting.

According to Flagstaff police reports, employees at the Walmart located at 2601 E. Huntington called police around noon Tuesday after two women they recognized as suspects in an attempted theft of chicken wings at the local Albertson’s walked into their store. A male and female officer located the sisters outside Walmart and began asking them about the suspected shoplifting.

While they were questioning the sisters, the male officer asked the female officer for the younger sister’s field interview card so he could see if she had been trespassed from the Walmart before. Suddenly, the younger sister lunged at the female officer and swiped the card out of her hand, scratching the female officer in the process.

The struggle escalated from there.

Officers managed to take the younger sister to the ground, but she maneuvered onto her back and repeatedly kicked the male officer in the groin. He then felt the woman try to grab his groin area, so he hit her in the face.
