Live fast, 'diaper' young
12:25 a.m. -- 200 Block of Granada Boulevard. Petit theft. An Ormond Beach police officer was issuing a warning for a vehicle driving with no headlight, when a passing motorist told him he witnesses the defendant running out of the store with diapers. The witness told police the defendant had asked for a ride to the store. The witness said they didn’t go into the store with the defendant, so they didn’t know if the items were paid for.
The defendant, after being read her Miranda rights, told police she took a box of Huggies pull ups, two bags of Almond M&Ms, a package of Pamper baby wipes and a box of Pampers diapers, which had a total value of $75.85, according to the report.
The store manager told police he didn’t know the defendant took the items until he viewed security footage. The store told police it wanted to prosecute the defendant, and due to her criminal history, she was charged with a felony.
