A woman who allegely refused to pay her bill at a West Hazleton salon Wednesday threw a temper tantrum inside the business and, when police intervened, resisted arrest and then urinated in the police station holding cell.

Borough police said they received a call for a customer who refused to pay for services at Unique Nail and Beauty Salon, 3 E. Broad St., around 8 p.m. and upon arrival found Lindsey Barletta, 32, outside the business, near Fifth Street, and attempted to resolve the issue by instructing Barletta, 32, of Hazleton, to pay her bill.

She told officers she was unhappy with her service, arrest papers state, but the shop owner told officers Barletta, who left without paying her $50 bill, acted erratically in the shop. According to the owner, when Barletta was informed of the cost, she threw herself onto the floor and shouted that she had no money before walking out of the business, police wrote.

Police said they questioned Barletta but she appeared under the influence of alcohol and was unable to provide coherent answers. She mumbled and giggled, court papers state, had a blank, confused look and would occasionally burst into tears for no apparent reason.

Court papers state that when she was advised that she was under arrest Barletta refused to comply with police orders to get up from where she was sitting on the ground with her dog by her side. As the officer attempted to make the arrest, Barletta put up a struggle. As a second officer assisted with the arrest, he was bitten by the dog, police stated.

As police placed handcuffs on Barletta her resistance persisted, court papers state. She was escorted to a police vehicle while still struggling with officers, and attempted to kick the officers.

Police noted that she did kick the vehicle's door and spat on an officer. The kicking continued inside the vehicle, according to court records, and while in the holding cell she urinated on the floor.

The officer with the dog bite was treated at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Hazleton.

Barletta was eventually charged with misdemeanors for theft of services, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and a summary offense for public drunkenness.

She was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Donald Whittaker, Nanticoke, who set bail at 10 percent of $25,000. Unable to post the money, she was taken to jail.
