BEAUMONT, Texas (Gray News) - A woman is accused of twisting a loss prevention officer in a sensitive area to escape with Hershey’s chocolate and feminine pads.

According to KFDM, 40-year-old Keri Aultz stole two bags of Hershey’s chocolate and feminine pads Tuesday night at a store in Beaumont, Texas.

Beaumont police said a loss prevention officer attempted to stop Aultz on her way to her car, but she pushed the officer and grabbed him. She also allegedly lunged at a store manager.

Aultz was charged with robbery. She also had outstanding warrants for previous theft offenses.

Aultz’s bond is set at $75,000.

The items Aultz allegedly stole cost $16.21.
