A security guard was battered in a shoplifting case in which a baby in a stroller was used as a cover for stolen merchandise on Black Friday at an East Towne Mall store, Madisonpolice reported.
The incident took place in front of a large crowd of shoppers at about 8 p.m. Friday at J.C. Penney, police said in a news release.
Lesley Williams, 22, of Sun Prairie, was tentatively charged with battery and retail theft. Ashley Williams, 24, of Reedsburg, was tentatively charged with disorderly conduct and bail jumping. A 14-year-old Madison female was tentatively charged with battery and released to a family member. And Alicia Lembeke, 23, of Sun Prairie, was cited and released for retail theft.
Police said those four were stopped by a security guard as they tried to leave J.C. Penney and re-enter the mall.
"The thieves had been placing stolen items in a stroller, beneath a baby," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain in the release.
When the guard asked the women to stop, Lesley Williams and the 14-year-old allegedly punched and kicked him, while Ashley Williams allegedly yelled that she was going to kill him.
"The youngest suspect later admitted to an officer that she had anger problems," DeSpain said.
Stolen clothes and other items taken from J.C. Penney were found beneath the infant in the stroller. The baby was not injured.
"The guard wasn't seriously hurt but he was bleeding from a cut near his ear," DeSpain said.
