BEAUMONT — What started as a $16.21 shoplifting run ended with a robbery charge, a hospital visit, and a $75,000 bond.
Beaumont police say Keri Aultz, 40, stole two bags of Hershey’s chocolate and feminine pads from the Market Basket on 11th Street near I-10 Tuesday evening.
Police say when a loss-prevention officer tried to stop her, things turned ugly outside the store as Aultz headed to her black Lexus sedan.
According to an arrest report, Aultz pushed the officer outside the store and grabbed him.
Officers also say she lunged at the store manager during the confrontation outside.
"Afterward, Aultz exited the vehicle and grabbed the asset protection personnel's left nipple and twisted it causing him to feel pain," according to the arrest report.
Because police say force was used causing bodily injury during the theft, the shoplifting case was upgraded from theft to robbery, a much more serious charge.
Aultz was also checked through Beaumont PD's dispatch, and she had two outstanding Jefferson County warrants for her arrest, according to the arrest affidavit.
Jail records reviewed by KFDM indicate she had warrants for previous theft offenses.
After her arrest, Aultz complained of chest pain and was taken to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital by EMS before being booked into jail, according to an arrest report.
Magistrate Marc DeRouen set Aultz’s bond at $75,000.
Robbery in the state of Texas is a second-degree felony.
True.
That’s right.
Should have written “Purple Nurple” on the charging document.
Do kids still say that? We did.
There was a titty twisting a hole in my high school that I remember. He twisted so hard that it would bleed sometimes. He was expelled.
Aultz headed to her black Lexus sedan.
When did Hershey’s chocolate diversity into feminine pads?
Now toilet paper, I could see.
Never get in the way of a woman on her period who is out of chocolate.
“It’s a candy bar AND a feminine pad!”
That’s the FIRST thing I thought. LOL
LOL
SNL with Gilda and Chevy, right?
“Tastes great on my butterscotch pudding.”
“And just look at that shine!”
Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in 'Frisco with all that stuff."
That thing turned ugly long ago.
Why didn’t she just go get them for free from a boys school restroom (the pads, not the chocolate)?
“You got your feminine pad in my chocolate.”
“Yeah, well you got your chocolate in my feminine pad!”
Both: “Delicious!”
“”Afterward, Aultz exited the vehicle””
The article never had her GETTING into the vehicle. This bad reporting just never ends.
I’m enjoying my chocolate as I type but looking at that picture, maybe I better quit! Mercy!
Chinless chick charged in chocolate heist.
What woman thinks to do that to a man during a fight? She ought to be charged for sexual assault.
