Police hunt woman who allowed her urinating dog to cause $2,000 worth of damage to clothing

A New Jersey woman took a dog into a clothing store and allowed it to urinate on 25 pieces of clothing causing $2,000 in damage, police said. The suspect then led police on a wild chase before eventually losing officers. The unusual incident happened at about 1pm on Monday at the Lane Bryant clothing store in Toms River.



According to investigators, store employees said that a female entered the store with a small dog and allegedly allowed it to urinate on 14 dresses and 11 pair of pants. The damage was approximately $2,000. The female was asked to leave the store, but police say she became belligerent and refused to do so.

Store employees then called 911 and when officers arrived, the suspect got into her car and sped away. The suspect ran several red lights before officers ended their pursuit due to a potential danger to the community. Investigators said the suspect was identified through her licence plate and physical description as Theresa M. Tumbleson, 35, from Jackson, New Jersey.



Charges of Eluding a Police Officer and Obstruction of the Administration of Law have been filed and additional charges are expected. Tumbleson remains at large. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Toms River Police Department.

At the very least, she can always fall back on her good looks to get her through.

A small dog had enough urine to pee on 25 pieces of clothing? No way.
