Lt. Candace Young said customers had reported finding the blades at a Walmart Supercenter and a Walmart Neighborhood Market, per the Associated Press.
Staff at the retail franchise told authorities that they first received a report of a razor blade in a loaf of bread that was bought from the Walmart Supercenter on Dec. 5, the outlet reported.
Another report came on Dec. 8, regarding a razor blade being found in bread that had been purchased at the Walmart Neighborhood Market.
After looking through their stock, employees then found more loaves with razor blades.
Authorities were then able to identify the person of interest after reviewing video surveillance.
In footage, Benson was seen exiting the store while holding a white bag, per WLOX.
“On December 16, 2025 the Biloxi Police Department were given information that the suspect had been seen the 1000 block of Division St,” the police’s press release read. “Officers were able to locate and take into custody 33 year-old female Camille Benson, from the State of Texas. Benson was charged with Attempted Mayhem and Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain set bond at $100,000.”
Benson is being held at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center.
In their release, officials asked anyone who bought bread from Walmart in Biloxi to carefully check the items for sharp objects “and if objects found please contact the Biloxi Police Department.”
In a statement, per the AP, Walmart said, “The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority.
