Warwick Police have identified the woman from a Sept. 18 theft case.
Alaina Chase, 26, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of larceny on Oct. 7 before Third Division District Court Judge Melissa DuBose, who sentenced Chase to one year’s probation and a one-year suspended sentence, and ordered her to pay $99 in restitution.
According to a WPD Facebook post, surveillance cameras at the Dunkin at Meadowbrook Plaza recorded a woman removing $99 in cash from the purse belonging to an 82-year-old woman on Sept. 18 at about 3:15 p.m.
Police later identified the woman as Chase, who is also awaiting trial on a felony charge of car theft brought by Warwick Police in July. Because her later arrest violated terms of her release in the July case, a violation charge was filed on Oct. 7.
No further information had been posted on the state court website as of the publication of this article.
