WI - A Florida woman was arrested after allegedly robbing a Platteville ice cream shop Thursday afternoon.
The Platteville Police Department identified 45-year-old Bereta Alesandru of Spring Hill, Florida as the woman who allegedly robbed 3 Marias Ice Cream Shop in Platteville.
According to the complaint, an employee in the shop referred to as Victim 1 said Alesandru walked into the store and said she needed $80 for gas. Victim 1 told police Alesandru allegedly offered air pods in exchange for the $80.
According to the complaint, Alesandru was opening her purse to show the air pods and Victim 1 noticed a knife in her purse. Victim 1 told police Alesandru pulled the knife out of the purse and allegedly told victim 1 "It was a very good knife."
Victim 1 described the knife as having some red on it and was a folding knife.
According to the complaint, Alesandru took $80 from the cash register. And allegedly asked for more money from the cash register. She allegedly asked for $800 and went down to $300.
Victim 1 told police Alesandru allegedly put her hand in her purse and screamed, "give me all the money."
Platteville officers stopped a Black Ford with a partial Florida license plate on US HWY 151. Officers noted the three individuals who were removed from the vehicle were a juvenile male, adult male, and adult female.
The woman in the vehicle matched the description of the woman who allegedly robbed the ice cream shop and online court record show she was arrested for robbery with threat of force.
I was thinking of a different 2T "Beretta".
And no cockatiel either!

Florida Man’s better half....
Platteville officers stopped a Black Ford....
I see that capitalizing “black” applies to cars, now.
Under the current administration, this may be a federal offense.
Cockatoo. The ‘tiels are about half that size.
Both can be very chatty.
What will they charge the ice cream shop owner with? 😛
Florida women these days.
What, no picture of her anywhere?
I see that capitalizing “black” applies to cars, now.Nice catch. Probably a word processor default -- certainly an editorial one, too.
Didn’t that actor shoot his wife? And got away with it?
“I see that capitalizing ‘black’ applies to cars, now.”
It’s Wisconsin. We’re VERY polite and don’t want to offend ANYONE. EVER. ;)
I looked for her mugshot. Couldn’t verify. There were a number of other women with the exact same name that were just everyday people on Linked-In, etc. ;)
I shared the same name with a con artist for a while in the 90’s. She was really good about writing bad checks, so I got a number of visits from the po-lice and credit fraud calls for a number of years before she was finally locked up.
No knocks to my credit score, amazingly - we were very close in age as well. She worked at the University of Wisconsin! Another STELLAR LEADER influencing Da Yutes of To-Day! *SMIRK*
That’s OK; I didn’t mean for you to go hunting for her. It just seemed unusual for there to be no picture of her. Thanks for the update, Diana!
I’d forgotten about that
