FBI arrests ‘high-heeled hijacker’ for string of Texas robberies and a kidnapping
NY Post ^ | MaryAnn Martinez

One person she stole from described the woman as nicely dressed but smelling “heavily of body odor,” according to Houston Police.

Coleman’s crime spree started Nov. 15 when investigators said she approached Katie Otten, an employee at Galleria Houston, in the mall parking lot and demanded money, reported KTRK. The thief had her hand in her pocket, making Otten think Coleman was armed.

Otten told the Houston station. “She forced her way into my vehicle and was like, ‘OK, take me to an ATM.'”

The hijacker then forced the terrified woman to drive to multiple ATMs before making a final stop at a grocery store.

Coleman took Otten’s phone, keys, and $160 and left.

In the days before Christmas, Coleman was also behind robberies at a sandwich shop, a hotel and a bank, according to the cops. Each time she used a similar pattern — passing staffers a note ordering them to give her money and threatening violence, police said.

Ultimately, Coleman was arrested on unrelated charges, but a tip linked her to the robberies, the feds confirmed.

She has since been charged with kidnapping and three counts of robbery by threat.

DNA neve lies... Does it have a ‘Y’ chromosome???

If it does, it’s a man... If it doesn’t, it’s a woman.

Hi Heel Sneakers by Tommy Tucker (1964) (also a cover by Elvis).

Put on your red dress, baby
Lord, we goin’ out tonight
Put on your red dress, baby
Lord, we goin’ out tonight
And wear some boxin’ gloves
In case some fool might wanna fight

Put on your hi-heel sneakers
Wear your wig hat on your head
Put on your hi-heel sneakers
Wear your wig hat on your head
And I’m pretty sure now, baby
Don’t you know you know you gonna knock ‘em dead

Is it legal?

She has her hand in her pocket insinuating she has a gun. Is it legal for me to pull my CC Colt .45 Combat Commander and blast her even though I hadn't seen a weapon? What if she says,"I have a gun" or "I have a bomb?

People today are just throwing a bag with a note saying this is a bank robbery and the bank fills the bag. You can be a very successful bank robber today and not even have a gun. I've seen convicts that robbed 12-20 banks of hundreds of thousand of dollars with no gun.

I suppose I'm supposed to holler, "Put your hands up and get on the ground" before I shoot, but what if they do have a gun in their pocket? Can I be in fear of my life just because I can't see both of their hands?

I come down on the side of YES! A cop gets pretty upset if a suspect has their hands in a pocket or down their pants or even in their underwear.
