THE STAFF AT THE WALGREEN'S ADVISED DISPATCH THAT THE DEFENDANT, MS JENNIFER BRAVO, HAD TAKEN A PONCHO DRESS AND PLACED IT IN HER PURSE AND AFTER PURCHASING CIGARETTES PROCEEDED TO HER VEHICLE. UPON OUR ARRIVAL THE DEFENDANT WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF HER FORD MUSTANG PARKED NEAR THE ENTRANCE DOOR. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED TO SEE HER IDENTIFICATION. DURING THIS TIME I COULD SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF ALCOHOL EMITTING FROM HER BREATH. THE DEFENDANT THEN GAVE ME HER IDENTIFICATION AND I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT I WAS THERE INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE THEFT OF ITEMS FROM THE WALGREEN'S BY HER. I THEN READ THE DEFENDANT HER MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PRE PRINTED AGENCY CARD. THE DEFENDANT THEN ADVISED ME SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME.

ALSO LOCATED IN HER PURSE WAS $135.00 IN CASH. I DID ASK THE DEFENDANT SINCE SHE HAD ENOUGH MONEY IN HER PURSE TO PURCHASE THESE ITEMS WHY SHE STOLE THEM, AT WHICH TIME SHE STATED SHE MADE A STUPID MISTAKE. DEPUTY WILLIAMS AND I MADE CONTACT WITH THE TWO EMPLOYEES OF THE WALGREEN'S WHO BOTH STATED THAT THEY OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT WALK INTO THE STORE ON ISLE NUMBER SEVEN, FACE AWAY FROM THEM AND THEN PLACE A DRESS PULLED FROM A RACK INTO HER PURSE WHICH WAS ON HER LEFT SHOULDER.

THE EMPLOYEES THEN ISSUED ME A TRAINING RECEIPT OF THE STOLEN ITEMS AT WHICH TIME I COMPLETED A PROPERTY RECEIPT AND RETURNED THE ITEMS BACK OVER TO THE WALGREEN'S. THE PROPERTY RECEIPT WAS SIGNED BY THE EMPLOYEE.
