Today, Shreveport Police Department officers responded to a vehicle burglary at 5727 Financial Plaza. While investigating, officers encountered a female suspect identified as 36-year-old Tynishia Lewis, who became physically aggressive, biting one officer on the forearm and causing an injury that broke the skin. The officer received treatment at a local hospital and is expected to recover.
