A 35-year-old woman was arrested for robbery Friday after she was accused of stealing a cap from Dillard’s and then striking a security guard with a vehicle.

A 21-year-old Security guard confronted 35-year-old Loretta Ramsey (11/18/1976) after Ramsey left the Dillard’s store without paying for a cap. Ramsey got into a white 2009 Pontiac Vibe and left the parking lot but ran over the security guards foot.  The Security Officer suffered minor injuries.

Corpus Christi Police were called to investigate and were provided the license plate number for the white Pontiac. One of the responding patrol officers recognized the name of the registered owner and knew the owner resided at a different address than the registered address for the vehicle. The patrol officer located Ramsey and collected the evidence of Ramsey’s involvement of the crime. Because of the use of force in this theft, Ramsey was arrested for Robbery which is a 2nd degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
