At 2:37 p.m. Oct. 27, a Brookfield police officer was driving through the parking lot of the mall when he heard and saw Arent sitting on a bench outside of the food court yelling at people. The officer turned around and went by Arent to see what the issue was.
Arent yelled at people to get a lighter and made obscure comments. She then told the officer she was robbed the night before, and is a Milwaukee police officer and Marine who has lung cancer.

At that point a woman walked up and told the officer Arent had called her a hooker and a slut earlier while walking by with her young daughter.
She will make her initial appearance in court Jan. 21.
