A Bastrop woman is facing multiple charges after police were contacted about her behavior twice in a 24-hour period.

According to an arrest report for Crystal Gravois, age 41, officers were dispatched to the Aurora Mobile Home Park on DeSiard Street shortly after midnight Thursday morning. Upon arrival, they noticed a vehicle reported in a crime that occurred the day before at a local grocery store.

Gravois was later identified as the suspect in both cases. In the grocery store incident, Gravois can be seen on camera running around the grocery store and causing a disturbance.

She also reportedly grabbed a shopping cart and pushed it toward a 15 year-old paying for his groceries at a store register. The juvenile had to move out of the way, and the cart rolled past him.

When asked about the incident, Gravois allegedy told officers, "Yeah, so what? I did it. It don't matter because I'm asking the judge for the death penalty when I get to court."

At the mobile home park on Thursday morning, the suspect is accused of attacking her 62-year-old sister-in-law. The victim said Gravois hit her multiple times and pushed her while stating, "You need to get out of this house b****."

Per the report, as the victim attempted to exit the home, Gravois pulled her hair and pushed her on the steps before kicking her in the nose.
