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.

Throwing in the titty twister was a nice touch.
uh...no comment
And SHE complained of chest pain!
Chocolate flavored feminine pads?
Okay, I’ll comment. How many Hershey bars do you figure she can smuggle in her neck pouch? I’m guessing about 50.
“””Throwing in the titty twister was a nice touch.””””
Three years in prison for a nipple twist....priceless.
Well, that sure illustrates the contrast between California and Texas.
I question that timeline.
“Chocolate flavored feminine pads?”
No, saved by a comma thankfully.
“””Throwing in the titty twister was a nice touch.””””
Three years in prison for a nipple twist....priceless.
I would not want to get between her and a chocolate bar.
No, saved by a comma thankfully.
Commas save lives!
I can ALMOST understand why she wss so aggressive.
When my youngest daughter has her ‘time of the month’, unless she gets some chocolate ASAP, she gets kinda feisty.
Nonetheless, wrong is wrong.
Three years in prison for a nipple twist....priceless.

Miss Piggy drives a Lexus and can’t afford cheap chocolates and pads? And has the gall to fight for the stuff? All she had to do was apologize and pay for the stuff. Now she’s screwed. Can’t fix stupid.
Reminds me of Dennis Miller referring to a “fat crevice”. Barf or lol emoji here?
I didn’t see the comma at first.
Not sure I would charge her if I were the judge.
Just look at her, she has suffered enough...
lol
