ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A college student who answered a cell phone call in a Florida movie theater was pepper sprayed by an officer and charged with disorderly conduct, along with her boyfriend.
Warronnica Harris was at a movie theater Saturday night, watching the opening credits to "Catwoman" when her cell phone rang.
Officer John Douglas shone a flashlight in her eyes and asked Harris and her boyfriend, Terrell "KC" Tolson to leave. The couple said he pushed Harris in the hallway, then pepper sprayed both of them in the lobby.
Police denied the couple's account, saying Harris refused to end her cell phone conversation, yelled at Douglas and refused to leave the theater. Police said her boyfriend also refused to leave and threatened the officer.
Witnesses said the pair did nothing wrong.
