Deputies say that shortly before 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, a woman was allegedly seen shoplifting several hundred dollars worth of cosmetics from a CVS Pharmacy on Howland Boulevard in Deltona, Florida. Before she exited the store, however, her alleged accomplice realized deputies spotted him in his car and so he drove off.
Meanwhile, a deputy nabbed Rice as she left the CVS store and took her into custody. As the deputy got one handcuff on Rice’s left wrist, she allegedly became combative and spun around, violently shoved the deputy to the ground, and then took off running. Despite sustaining abrasions to her forearm, elbow and both knees, the deputy managed to give chase. However, the Rice got away and eluded capture during the ensuing search which also included K-9 units and a helicopter. Deputies were able to identify the suspected driver of the vehicle, 25-year-old John Willey, and went to his house on Fountain Road - but Rice wasn’t there.
Shortly before 11:30 a.m., deputies were flagged down by a 72-year-old couple who asked if they were looking for a woman. The couple then proceeded to explain that after the husband left to play golf that morning, the wife found a strange woman in the house and she was wearing her husband’s clothes. So the wife called her husband and demanded an explanation. When he came home, the husband insisted that he wasn’t having an affair with the intruder and had never seen her before. So the couple agreed to drive her less than a mile away to a residence on Fountain Road. Later, they would find the woman’s sock and panties in their washing machine.
So long as she was polite, I'd probably give her cookies and warm milk and drive her where she needs to go without telling the cops about it.
