A 19-year-old Pontiac woman is being sought in connection with a retail fraud at Party America last Monday.
According to an Oakland County Sheriff’s Department report, that crime could be the least of the woman’s worries, as she allegedly struck a four-year-old Orion girl with her vehicle while eluding store officials.
The four-year-old girl fell to the ground after the suspect backed into her, but no serious injuries were reported.
A store employee noticed the suspect as she entered the store with a mostly empty bag.
When the suspect left the store with a full bag, without paying for any items, the employee alerted her manager, who followed the suspect into the parking lot.
Police have issued a warrant for retail fraud.
