Dancing robbery woman arrested

Dallas police arrested a woman who tried to hold-up a convenience store by intimidating a store clerk with her dancing.

Video surveillance allegedly shows Theresa Hutchinson–and her male partner who remains at large– barreling in a 7-Eleven store, reports Fox News 4. The man jumps over the counter and begins stuffing a bag with cigarettes while Hutchinson allegedly begins dancing on the tabletop to distract the clerk. Her oddball behavior was thought to be influenced by drugs, according to the source.

Police say the clerk was frightened at first, but when he realized they didn’t have any weapons, he grabbed a stick to defend himself. That’s when the woman jumped off the counter and tried to back him away from her partner by dancing again. But both men begin arguing and a struggle ensued. Hutchinson then grabs a checkout scanner and tries to strike the clerk, but he over powered her partner and wrangled away the bag filled with cigarettes. The suspects fled.

After Fox News 4 aired the odd footage, viewers were able to identify the dancing woman and tipped authorities.

Hutchinson is now behind bars on robbery charges and police say her partner, along with a third person, are responsible for another robbery in the area.
