ORILLIA — A Huntsville woman was in bail court here today facing early morning robbery charges.

Police there say that on February 21, at 1:20 a.m., officers responded to a 911 call about an unwanted woman at a business on Atherley Road, in Orillia.

When officers responded, the employee said a customer alleged they would use a weapon against them if they did not provide alcohol or cigarettes.

Police quickly located the suspect, who they say resisted arrest.

She was taken to the Orillia OPP detachment, where police say she repeatedly made comments about killing officers involved.
