MIAMI — A woman is facing multiple felony charges after authorities said an arrest for shoplifting led to her kicking a Miami police officer and to corrections officers finding a suspected cocaine pipe in her vagina.

According to the Miami Police Department, an officer near the Target at 3825 NW Seventh St. in the city’s Flagami neighborhood was flagged down about a theft at around 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Police said they found a shopping cart with several items stolen from a nearby Bath & Body Works and identified Christina Teresa Renne, 39, as the suspect “responsible for multiple retail theft incidents at several stores.”

Arrest reports state that she also had a baggie of suspected cocaine powder and said that when officers tried to put her in a cruiser, she kicked an MPD officer in the knee.

Authorities said that while being booked and searched at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, body-scanner images showed that Renne had “what appeared to be contraband inside of her vaginal area.”

An arrest report states that while in a secure area, Renne “removed a pipe with suspected cocaine residue from inside her vagina.”

Renne, alternatively listed in arrest reports as either homeless or residing in Miami Beach or Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, now faces charges of retail theft with a prior conviction, battery on a law enforcement officer, cocaine possession and introducing a controlled substance into a jail facility.

Jail records show she also had multiple probation warrants and remained at TGK as of Monday afternoon.
