First blueberries, now this?

Apparently, taste-testing one or two grapes in the produce section before you buy them is fine. More than that, though, and it's considered stealing.

When Tameca Griffin was asked by a female police officer to stop snacking on grapes that she had not yet paid for in a St. Paul, MN Rainbow Foods store, she lashed out, chest-butted the officer, and screamed. According to reports, Griffin also punched the officer in the face, pulled out some hair, and possibly caused a concussion.

Griffin is charged with fourth degree assault.

So maybe it wasn't just because she was eating the grapes, though a police spokesperson doesn't know how many grapes Griffin had actually eaten.
