Hammond was the female. Both were seen running across a parking lot after abandoning the shopping cart and were found behind a dumpster at McDonald’s where they were ordered to the ground at gunpoint. The man complied, but Hammond allegedly tried to flee and was taken into custody after a foot chase. A duffle bag from the shopping cart was located behind the post office containing more stolen items. There was a total of 77 items taken for a total of $2,295. Charges of drug paraphernalia, driving under suspension and improper turn were dismissed.
