A woman identified as Camille Benson, aged 33 from Texas, was taken into custody on charges of attempted mayhem after she allegedly inserted razor blades into loaves of bread sold at two Walmart locations in Biloxi, Mississippi. The arrest followed customer reports of finding the dangerous items in their purchased bread from a Walmart Supercenter and a Walmart Neighborhood Market.The incidents were reported on December 5 and December 8, respectively, which prompted concerned customers to alert Walmart employees. Upon inspection, employees discovered additional loaves had been tampered with, leading to a swift response from the Biloxi Police Department.Benson's bond has been set at $100,000. As of Wednesday, no attorney appeared to represent her, and efforts to reach a potential relative were unsuccessful. In a statement, Walmart reassured customers that their health and safety is a priority, emphasizing that they have removed and inspected all potentially affected products from the store shelves.
