A Coralville woman has been accused of stealing $406.99 worth of merchandise from a Coralville department store.

Brea Henderson, 20, was accused Wednesday of fourth-degree theft, interference with official acts resulting in bodily injury, and contribution to delinquency.

The defendant was shopping in Kohl’s, 2795 Commerce Drive, with her 13-year-old sister, a co-defendant. She and her sister allegedly selected some items that they concealed in her baby bag and stroller.

They reportedly exited the store without attempting to pay for any of the merchandise.

When officials attempted to grab the bag of items, she pulled at the officer’s arm, scratching him and leaving red marks.

Contribution to delinquency is a simple misdemeanor, while fourth-degree theft and interference with official acts resulting in bodily injury are both aggravated misdemeanors.
