An “apparently intoxicated” Cook County prosecutor became disruptive in an adult store on the North Side and bit a worker in the leg when told to leave, authorities say.

Sarah Naughton, 31, an assistant state’s attorney since 2008, was charged with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal trespass, police said. She has been placed on administrative leave and will not be allowed to litigate cases, according to state’s attorney spokesman Andy Conklin.

Naughton and a companion, both “apparently intoxicated,” entered Taboo Tabou in the 800 block of West Belmont Avenue around 7:40 p.m. Saturday, police said. They became disruptive and were told to leave, according to the police report.
