梅里马克镇警察局的一份声明称，在10日下午3点45分左右收到保罗专卖店发生盗窃案的报告后，警方在美国鹰专卖店找到了两名女性嫌疑人，分别是家住波士顿的威廉姆斯（Maryah Williams）和家住麻州布罗克顿（Brockton）的沃特（Lasonia Watler），两人都有从这两家商店偷来的商品。
警方表示，一名嫌疑人在见到警方后，据称试图隐藏被盗物品，两人都拒绝被拘留。据称，威廉姆斯踢了一名警察的腹部，并将胡椒喷雾喷到警察的眼睛和空气中，影响了另一名警察和商店里的其他人。两名警官都接受了梅里马克消防局和紧急医疗服务部门的评估和治疗，而其他接触到胡椒喷雾的顾客拒绝接受治疗。
梅里马克警察局的声明称，这两名女性都被拘留，但在公共场合继续抵抗和大喊淫秽和种族不敏感的侮辱，扰乱了其他购物者。威廉斯和沃特勒被带到梅里马克警察局处理，目前被关押在希尔斯伯勒县惩教局。
新罕布夏州官员表示，两嫌犯计划于本周在第九巡回梅里马克地区法院出庭面对指控。当地检查官表示，沃特面临接收被盗财产的重罪指控，威廉姆斯面临接收被盗财物、企图二级攻击和伪造物证的重罪指控。她们都面临额外的轻罪指控，包括简单攻击警察、拒捕、行为不检和持有窃盗侦测设备拆卸工具。
MERRIMACK, N.H. — Two Massachusetts women are in a New Hampshire jail following a theft and altercation with police at the Merrimack Premium Outlets on Saturday afternoon, police said.
Police say Maryah Williams, 23, of Boston and Lasonia Watler, 18, of Brockton are scheduled to appear in Merrimack District Court on Monday.
Merrimack police say they responded to a report of a theft in progress at the Polo Ralph Lauren factory outlet store around 3:45 p.m. Police said the suspects, later identified as Williams and Watler, were found inside the nearby American Eagle Outlet.
Police say as officers approached them, one suspect began emptying her shopping bags in an attempt to hide the stolen items. Police say both women resisted arrest.
Merrimack police say Williams kicked an officer in the stomach and used pepper spray, affecting the officers and customers in the store. Police say Watler was stopped before attempting to use her own pepper spray.
Williams faces felony charges of receiving stolen property, attempted second-degree assault and falsifying physical evidence, along with several misdemeanor charges, including simple assault on a police officer.
Watler is facing felony charges of receiving stolen property and multiple misdemeanors, including resisting arrest and attempted simple assault on a police officer.
Both were transported to the Merrimack Police Department where they were processed and held on preventive detention.
Both officers were evaluated and treated by Merrimack Fire and EMS, and other patrons of the store who were exposed to the pepper spray refused medical treatment, police said.
