Suspect in razor blade case at Biloxi Walmart stores enters plea, sentencing set
A Texas woman pleaded guilty to a federal charge for placing razor blades inside loaves of bread and muffins at two Walmart stores in Biloxi.
Camille Benson, 33, pleaded guilty Friday to a federal charge of tampering with consumer goods and is facing a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.
Benson entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden in federal court in Gulfport. She is set for sentencing in October.
As part of her plea, she admitted to tampering with products transported to the two Biloxi stores across state lines, and committing the crimes with reckless disregard for the risk of harm to consumers.
According to FBI Task Force Officer John Farmer, Benson first admitted to committing the crimes during an interview shortly after her December 2025 arrest.
During an interview, Benson said she committed the crimes because she was angry at the state of Mississippi after learning her mother had died here.
The Biloxi Police Department started investigating after receiving several complaints from customers who reported finding razor blades in loafs of bread and muffins at two Walmart stores in the city. Police said a fish hook was also found in a muffin at the stores.
Police identified Benson as a suspect after sharing surveillance images with local media.
Customers reported finding the razor blades in bread products at the Walmart Supercenter on C.T. Switzer Sr. Drive and the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Pass Road.
After the first report, Walmart employees inspected additional bread products and found additional razor blades in other bread products.
Benson placed the blades inside the bread by first slicing through the plastic packaging.
At least three customers found razor blades on separate occasions in December 2025.
Before her arrest in Mississippi, Benson had at least 10 prior arrests in Bexar County, Texas, including charges of criminal mischief, resisting arrest, narcotics violations and prostitution. Her arrests date back to August 2011, when she was arrested on a charge of possession of crack cocaine, records show.
