ASHEBORO An Asheboro woman charged with dumping bed bugs on furniture at an Asheboro store last weekend says she was upset because her daughters had been bitten by the bugs.
Kacey Renee Bodine of Peachtree Street was charged Saturday with injury to personal property for dumping the bugs and ordered not to return to Rent-A-Center at 1509 N. Fayetteville St.
The charge came after Bodine showed up at the store to return a used bunk bed set her girlfriend had rented two weeks earlier and which she says was infested with bed bugs.
Common bed bugs are insects that feed on blood. The bite of a bed bug can cause a skin rash or other adverse health affects. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) all consider bed bugs a public health pest, but bed bugs are not known to transmit or spread disease.
An adult bed bug is about the size of an apple seed. Eggs are the size of a pinhead.
According to Bodine, the store manager refused to send someone to pick up the rental property, telling her that he would send someone to disassemble the bunk bed and move it to her front yard. A couple of store employees came to her residence and helped her take apart the furniture but told her they could not haul the infested furniture in the company truck.
Bodine said she figured if they would not come get it, she would deliver it.
The bed frame would not fit in her vehicle, so she took the mattresses to the store and carried them inside. Then she opened a bottle and dumped bed bugs she said she had collected from the mattresses onto a couch and loveseat in the store
Why did she dump them in the store?
They were going to come in with the mattresses anyway, she said. The store needs to be shut down for inspection. I had told the (police) officer (I dumped the bed bugs) because this store needs to be shut down.
