HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A woman is wanted in connection with the assault of an employee at a Katy-area nail salon after she refused to pay her bill last month, according to Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators are asking for help in identifying the woman. They have released surveillance images of her. This happened on Aug. 7 at the Venus Nail Salon located on South Mason Road in west Harris County.
Deputies said the woman went in around 5 p.m. and asked the salon employee for multiple specific nail applications. When the employee was done, she told the woman the bill was $280. That is when the woman refused to pay and said she did not have any money.
After the woman refused to pay, the employee locked the business door and called 911 to report the woman, deputies said. The woman began knocking over items in the store and then punched the employee several times. The woman then grabbed the door remote and let herself out.
