LR woman jailed in beauty store heist

A Little Rock woman was arrested Tuesday in connection with an August robbery that left a beauty supply store employee injured, according to court documents.

A New World Beauty Supply store employee told officers on Aug. 14 that two women came to the checkout counter, checked all of their items and then ran from the store without paying, according to an affidavit for arrest.

While attempting to get away with the stolen merchandise, one of the women threw the store employee to the ground, injuring her knee and wrist, the affidavit said.

After the employee identified the assailants in early October, officers arrested Caprice Willis, 24, on charges of theft of property, robbery and second-degree battery, according to an arrest report.

Willis was in the Pulaski County jail in lieu of $10,000 bond as of Wednesday evening.
