Two family members and a dog caused a ruckus in a Wisconsin Walmart last week, according to a Facebook post from the Eau Claire Police Department.

It all started when 46-year-old Lisa Smith entered the store and unleashed her dog named Bo, police said.

“While Bo ran up to customers, Smith erratically started pulling apart store displays and placing them in her cart,” police wrote in the statement posted to Facebook. “She was asked to leave by staff and left the store to perform karate moves in the parking lot.”

As the mom did so, her son — 25-year-old Benny Vann — was “causing problems” in Walmart, police said.

When officers got to the chaotic scene at about 8:30 p.m. on April 10, they found Smith screaming in the Walmart entryway while trying to catch Bo the dog, police said.

Smith was arrested, but she continued to fight with officers and tried to kick out the patrol car’s window, police said.

“In the meantime, Bo got a box of Jiffy Cornbread Muffin Mix and tried to leave the store,” police wrote.

Smith was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and misdemeanor bail jumping, police said. Her son was arrested on suspicion of lewd and lascivious behavior, disorderly conduct and retail theft.

As for Bo the dog?

Officers gave him a warning for the cornbread theft, and he was taken to the Humane Association, police said.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
