A dog lover who refused to scoop her pooch's poop was arrested after biting a cop who demanded she pick up after her pet.
Kristen Anise Hall, 24, caught the attention of cops late last week after she began walking away from the steaming pile her pit bull left behind in an East Memphis park.
When the officers told her she had to pick up after the dog, Hall refused, The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal reported Monday.
The cops said they were going to write her a ticket and asked for her ID.
Hall allegedly refused. And when cops tried to detain her, she fought with them, biting one officer on the hand, the paper reported.
Several other officers had to be called to subdue her.
Hall was charged with assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

PETAH TIKVA, Israel (Reuters) - An Israeli city is using DNA analysis of dog droppings to reward and punish pet owners.
Under a six-month trial programme launched this week, the city of Petah Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv, is asking dog owners to take their animal to a municipal veterinarian, who then swabs its mouth and collects DNA.
The city will use the DNA database it is building to match feces to a registered dog and identify its owner.
Owners who scoop up their dogs' droppings and place them in specially marked bins on Petah Tikva's streets will be eligible for rewards of pet food coupons and dog toys.
But droppings found underfoot in the street and matched through the DNA database to a registered pet could earn its owner a municipal fine.
"My goal is to get the residents involved, and tell them that together, we can make our environment clean," said Tika Bar-On, the city's chief veterinarian who came up with the idea for the DNA experiment.
Bar-On said the DNA database could also help veterinarians research genetic diseases in dogs, investigate canine pedigree and identify stray animals, replacing the need for electronic chip identification.
"The sky is the limit on how far we can take this," she said.
So far, Bar-On said, residents have "reacted positively to the programme and are cooperating because they want their neighbourhood to be clean".
She said Petah Tikva would consider making it mandatory for pet owners to provide DNA samples from their dogs if the trial programme is successful.PETAH TIKVA, Israel (Reuters) - An Israeli city is using DNA analysis of dog droppings... more

Volunteers are spraying dog mess with pink dye in an effort to shame owners who fail to clean up after their pets, a council said today. Mansfield District Council also hopes the scheme will help walkers avoid stepping in excrement at one of its parks.
The project at Oak Tree Heath nature reserve in Nottinghamshire is being launched as part of National Poop Scoop week. A community group that helps maintain the park will be given the pink spray to dye unwanted dog mess.
