Hughes Southeastern Plumbing Supply:
Salgado was spotted when two Salisbury Police Officers drove in route to an auto wreck on South Main and Thomas Streets when they spotted a woman walking alone on South Main near Military Avenue, close to 2 a.m. As their patrol car approached the woman they saw her lift a metal pipe and smash it into a Hughes Southeastern Plumbing Supply front window and sent glass shards flying. The patrol car pulled up beside her and an officer ordered to let go of the pipe. She placed the pipe down. Soon she was in handcuffs and seated in the back of the police vehicle heading off to being booked.
