Women: Please be careful if you put your purse in the shopping cart when you shop. Thieves are everywhere. The other day in Stop & Shop a woman was halfway down the aisle from her cart and her purse was wide open. I hook the belt that is used to strap in a child around the strap of my purse while shopping. Beware of people that may ask you to reach something for them. My friend's wallet was stolen that way. Never take your eyes away from your purse for a minute.

I keep my purse on my arm at all times. You are so right.

More dirtbags that should be jailed for a long time.
Stop stealing OTHER peoples things.
Your parents must be proud.

Leave your purses in the trunk of your cars when you shop. Just bring in your debit/credit card. This is the best advice.

after your court date...stay out of lacey twsp ahole...exit 74 is closed for you

Seems like the LTPD spends alot of time at Wal Mart so much for the tax benefits

You all ned to understand yes she is wrong for stealing from another person. However she is. a drug addict and ill. Instead of being thrown behind bars, they need to put her in a rehab so she can get better.

Future is right. This woman has a sickness. She needs to be put in the proper rehabilitation center. Not jail. If a person has cancer you don't throw them in jail. Wake up people. It's a disease were dealing with here.

Sickness or not, it does not give her the right to steal
.

Here's the thing...she wants to do drugs, and take a ride down the crapper so be it...the moment she stole from the other women, she is no longer a victim...they are...so stop sympathasizing with this person. Think if it was you...your daughter your mother that this individual stole from to feed her addiction.

She was never a victim. She's obviously old enough to know right from wrong. If she's going from store to store stealing wallets, running from the store, she lnew what she did was a crime. Keep her in jail, i dont feel sorry for thieves!

I'm not saying what she did was right but when you have this type of disease your not thinking clearly. Judgement is off. This poor woman needs help now more than ever. Sometimes its so easy to look the other way isn't it. Wake up people.

You people are so insensitive..These are some harsh times and this poor lady was probably just tring to get a hot meal in her stomach..Like everyone here is just so perfect

no just law abiding...

Maybe the blood should rush back to your brain huh dixie...that may foster clearer thinking

Listen GP this is a woman that needs help. I hope that the high taxes I pay go to this woman's sickness other than road construction.

Peeple r so out of it. everyone strggles wit drugs at some time. She needs help so she isnt forcd to steel from peeple. no one is perfict the cops shood of taken her to a rehab not jail

are you people smoking something yourselves?????
want to help someone help the REAL INNOCENT VICTIMS...and stop making excuses.Got enough tears on here to fill the second lake thats dredged

This woman does not need tears. Just help... Which most people don't give anymore. Makes me sick.

Exactly how many shots does this individual get jones...doesnt look like the first go around for her. Let me get this straight...shes hets locked up previously for the same thing...and was offered "help" and she gets locked up again now. So whats the magic number for rehabilitation? I'll get my hanky ready.

Rehab is meant for people who want treatment to overcome their addictions, it is not meant to be an alternative for jail. Do the crime you should have to do the time. If after they complete their sentence for the crime they committed, then let them go to rehab. Why should we as a society allow these "sick" people to victimize our neighbors, family, and children by letting them get out of jail. What's next, should we allow drunk drivers who harm people out of a sentence too, because after all, these people are plagued with addiction as well. Furthermore, for the person who said maybe she stole because she was starving, how do you know the VICTIM wasn't starving as well? Stop excusing and condoning the behaviors of people on drugs!

Not condoning what she did at all. It was not right. But there is no reason to give up on people so easily. Especially sick people. The poor girl was probably hungry, tired, and feels all alone.

What horrific reporting! The writer of this article belongs in a rehab. What about the part about the man from ShopRite that chased this dirty rotten junkie, tackled her and held her for police? This man is a hero that Lacey should be proud of. We need more people not just in this town but this world like him. Yet the Patch leaves this out??? Shame on you Patch. What else do you leave out od your stories?

Randy please stop. The reporter reported on the story just fine. The sad part of this whole thing is that this woman needs help and will probably not get it. Makes me sick just thinking of how scared she must be right now.

I think you should give her enough drugs to OD and let natural selection take its course. If that is too harsh for some of you then please by all means follow the law lock her up and then AFTER she has done her time make her go to mandatory rehab, which she will have to pay back the state and the VICTIM of her crimes with money she makes after she gets done with it all and gets a job. @Randy thank you for pointing out the missing pieces of the story; thank you to the man who chased her down.

The man that chased her down should be brought up on charges. Last time I checked a man from shoprite does not wear a badge and has no right to physically assault another person.

Ya how about I drive down the road see someone speeding run them off the road and make a citizens arrest. Get a grip people.

earth to jones...

Ygg

Wow, I can't believe I actually wasted that much time reading all the responses. I especially love how "Spartacus" (Ricky butterball, or butterfinger whatever his name is) gets all Maury Povich up in here...."first of all..." all while spastically jerking his head left to right and snapping his fingers in your face. Haha uh-ugh... No he dih-int!!!!
Really people? Who gives a shit? Honestly?
Oh and by the way...next time you feel like dusting off your soap box, make sure you click that little "spell check" button before you submit your extremely intellectual statement. If you really think what you say impacts anyone in some perverse version of reality then at least set a good example for all the toothless inbred children that will someday be running this planet because of people like you that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
Thank you. That is all
