Chicago woman charged with robbery

A Chicago woman allegedly became physical at Dillard’s when confronted about some jeans.

Erica Lacey, 42, was charged Dec. 6 with second-degree robbery.

According to a Coralville police complaint, Lacey was seen entering and exiting a dressing room with several pairs of jeans, and camera footage determined she did not come out with all of the pairs she had taken in.

When confronted while attempting to leave the store, she refused to return to the office and struck an employee in the face with her fist.

She continued to resist, scratching the employee.

Second-degree robbery is a Class-C felony.
