TAMPA — A woman whom police investigated for her relationship with Dontae Morris, a suspect in two police killings, was arrested after a traffic stop Sunday on charges including 81 felony gun counts.

Alaina Nichole Riggins, 26, of Seffner was being held on $614,500 bail in a Hillsborough County jail. Among the charges, police filed one for each of the more than 70 bullets they said they found on her.

An arrest report says a Tampa officer observed a gold Toyota she was driving make repeated turns without using a signal on E Clifton Street early Sunday. The officer turned on his emergency lights and attempted to pull her over, but Riggins continued driving for three blocks before coming to a stop, the report said. When asked to get out of the car, Riggins refused and the officer pulled her out and took her into custody, the report said.

Our collective minds dictate that if she receives a felony count for each bullet, and upon conviction receives 976 years in a federal sentence.... She will be out selling crack before your tween graduates highschool.

(or "magazine" and "clip") correct, it's a rare accident

Was it you who said that "A Clip is for holding a large number of pieces of paper together." and "A Banana Clip is for holding a large number of bananas together."

Either way, I've stolen that line. classic.

No, but I don't care who you are, that's funny, right there. I'm also a fan of the reporter's illustrated guide to firearms.

This really confuses/troubles me...A few weeks ago, two MIami cops were slain while attempting to serve to violent fugitive warrant. If this guy was in the attic, why didn’t they braw back, use a bull horn to tell him to climb down, and then toss in some tear gass and flash/bang cannisters until he complied? Not attempting to judge the SPPD..just curious..

She’s looks as stupid as a bag of doorknobs. But, I see no bruises or blood, so she must be naturally stupid and not the recipient of an old fashioned wood shampoo at the hands of St. Pete’s finest.

Seffner and Tampa are in Hillsborough County; St. Petersburg is in Pinellas County. This dirt bag is in Hillsborough County jail.

I don’t know the EXACT address, but Clifton runs parallel to Sligh, where I grew up.

From what I’ve read on other threads the Marshall went up first and the perp got his gun from him and took out the SPPD officers. The Marshall lived, and I believe he’s the one they went in to rescue with the SWAT team.
