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.
Parked in a handicap space.
The good news is now she is going to have an excellent opportunity to lose weight. Call it the prison diet plan.
Unless she eats her cell mate...............
In my work with the police department, I knew a female dispatcher who had short arms as a birth defect. Basically her arms ended at the elbow position and her hands were joined to the arms there. It was a stretch for her to pick up a telephone handset and other items. Every time I chatted with her, your thought came to my mind. It's one of those things you just don't ask!
She probably can't reach her back!

Is that supposed to be a reference to her weight or to her place of residence?
Gack! Lost one of those pads while swabbing the toilet about a year ago - cost us a $95 plumber visit :-(
She will sue the store for reckless endangerment from a defective public-offered service - fatass carts that can’t stand the heavy, First-Lady-Sized Loads.....she coulda gotten away if if was better!
I'd take her there every week to get her supplies, etc. and let her ride in my truck and nod off and enjoy the ride....one time we went in Wally World and I saw one of them carts and saw the seat of one of them poor fatass carts. It was so beaten up and torn (the leather) from mistreatment and just plain fatass overabuse, I had to bust out laughing...she asked me why I was laughing and I took her over and showed her. I dont' think I'd ever seen her laugh that much.... I miss her.
Coffee, meet sinuses.
This was ‘sposed to be a ‘motorcycle ping’ (kinda), but we got off track.....
Hugh and series!
Arrest, yes; frisk, no.
I would balk at the arrest as well.
