400-pound woman caught shoplifting when motorized cart gets stuck at Rochester Hills Meijer

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.

Odd she is fit enough to stand up and fight, yet she needs the cart.

Meijer finally have door alarms. I worked there until around 2006 and I remember they did not have these as not to make people feel uncomfortable. I had friends that stole stuff from there when I was very young and I theft was very common. Glad they finally got the right idea.

Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh what those five foot could do
Has anyone seen my gal

Turned up nose and turned down hose
Never had another beau
Has anyone seen my gal

Now if you run into five foot two covered with fur
Diamond ring and all those things
Bet your life it isn’t hers
Could she love could she woo
Could she love could she coo
Has anyone seen my gal

Five foot two, eyes of blue but oh what those five foot could do

Diamond ring and all those things
Bet your life that it wasn’t her

Could she loving could she coo
Could she could she woo
Has anyone seen my gal

Her plan was flawed from the beginning. She should have used the Tank Wheelchair!

I see an opportunity for this young lady to contact a reputable trial lawyer and sue the manufacturer of her taxpayer subsidized electric wheelchair for defect in workmanship, pain, suffering and embarrassment.

...and for loss wages and/or loss of stolen merchandise.

I have seen short and fat women like this who’s arms can’t reach below their waist.

Which made me think of the other kind of waste and how the hell they deal with that, because it sure don’t look like they can reach that far...
