A Pontiac woman’s alleged theft attempt was foiled this week when her motorized cart became stuck at a Rochester Hills Meijer.
Jerrie Perkins, 30, is charged with unarmed robbery, resisting and obstructing a police officer and second-degree retail fraud.
Her bond was set at $15,000 by 52-3 District Magistrate Nick Camargo during arraignment Thursday.
Investigators said Perkins was attempting to leave the Rochester Road Meijer with more than $600 worth of stolen electronic merchandise when her cart got stuck and she was unable to drive out the door.
The door alarm was activated when Perkins passed through it around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday, and Meijer employees approached her asking for a receipt for the items.
Perkins — approximately 5 foot 2 and 400 pounds — shoved a loss prevention officer and hit her in the face, according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.
A sheriff’s deputy arrived and asked Perkins to put her hands behind her back, but she “cursed at the deputy, balled her right hand into a fist and took a fighting stance,” according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office.
The deputy pulled his Taser and told Perkins to put her hands behind her back, but Perkins brought her fist up over her head and looked directly at the deputy.
The deputy Tasered Perkins, who then complied with the deputy’s commands and was taken to jail.
I missed the part about his gal and a cart that go stuck. ;^)
Dean was a character.
I was in a store with my kids when an obese woman in her wheelie headed right for us, making me grab the kids and dive out of the way, as she shouted “move! Low batteries!”
Holy crap.
Then add the irony of a photo caption that reads "click to enlarge".
I do not wish to think about that................ever.........
; D
I have coffee on my keyboard.....................
IMHO, 90% of the people in the carts are doing it because they’re lazy. I see the occasional person who’s old and likely frail, and the odd younger person in a cast or orthopedic boot, and I’m glad the stores provide that service for them. But mostly I see fat women riding those things.
I always have to squelch the urge to say, “IF YOU’D JUST GET UP AND WALK MORE YOU WOULDN’T NEED THAT F#$%!@ CART!”............
I figured there must be devices like that for them, just never wanted to think long enough on it to go look.
Five foot two and smells like a loo
Don’t talk too much but she sure can moo
Has anyone seen my gal
Fingers up her nose and bathes with a hose
can’t get in my car cause the door won’t close
Has anyone seen my gal
Is it me, or has there been an increase in the last 2 years of ‘tons of fun’ people using electrical carts at the grocery store,who ‘purchase’ chips,cookies and other non healthy foods with food stamps???
I see these fatties load up on garbage and then load their large cabooses into a new Escalade with a big fat Obama/Biden bumper sticker.
It’s becoming something of a growth industry. I’m 6 ft., 350lbs, and I’ve never been to a Wal-Mart/Target/Dollar General/Family Dollar where I didn’t see a woman who weighed more than me. http://www.livingxl.com
I think I saw you in Walmart last night!
I’ve noticed............
Ointment application? **shudder**
ROTFLMAO!!!! Did the cop have it dialed down to "comply" ???
Hover-round ping!

Damn, that reads like part of an Austin Powers movie.
