I read the rest of the story and can’t figure it out. The assailant took it from the potential buyer but it wasn’t paid for yet. How was it robbery? Did the assailant not pay for it after she took it from the potential buyer?
Yeah... I could see accusations of simple assault and disorderly conduct, and Walmart itself giving it back to the initial purchaser to buy and banning the grabber from its stores... but it wasn’t robbed from anyone who owned it. The store owned it.
robbery involves force or intimidation of a person, theft or burglary is concerned with property...its a good charge imo...even though it still belonged to the store...
The potential buyer was forcefully robbed of an item in her possession intended for purchase
