A woman is facing charges after she was accused of stealing from a Dollar General store in northeastern Florida and battering the pregnant employee who tried to intervene.

Late in the morning on January 2, a woman rode a bicycle to a Dollar General in Palm Coast so she could pick up a lighter. The patron, who was described as wearing a blonde wig, a hat, and a scarf, was allegedly seen approaching the checkout counter near the shelf where the lighters are kept. When she learned they cost $2.00 each, the woman reportedly told the cashier that she did not have enough to pay for one. She allegedly grabbed the lighter anyway and headed towards the door. The cashier, who was 8 months pregnant at the time, tried to stand in the way so she could not leave the building, but the woman allegedly shoved her and walked out.

The authorities were notified, but before they arrived, the suspect had already ridden away on her bike. They talked to the cashier and a witness and set out to locate the woman. They collected a picture of the suspect from a surveillance camera and posted it on social media, and someone who saw it provided the woman’s whereabouts to the sheriff’s office.
