BOARDMAN
Two women were arrested Friday after an investigation into a purse theft at Walmart.
Police were called about 2 a.m. today to Walmart, 1300 Doral Drive, where a 25-year-old woman reported she had set her purse down to look at merchandise, and then it was stolen.
Store security cameras showed a woman, who police believe was Ashley Nicole Taylor, 24, of Youngstown, who picked up the purse and walked out of the store with another woman.
A loss-prevention worker called police when the two women returned to Walmart that night.
Taylor is charged with felony theft. The woman she was with, Mae Lee Thomas, 40, of Youngstown, was picked up for a criminal mischief warrant out of Mercer County, Pa., according to reports. The purse was returned to the woman, police said.
Comments
Is anyone else surprised that the suspects are from Youngstown?
Nope!
Is anyone surprised that you two tools made another stupid comment?
Nope!
@lovethecity,the only tools are you and the two pieces of trash that stole the purse.
And another tool crawls out from under his rock. Key board warriors living in mommy's basement.
Tools? If they wanted tools they would have been at Sears stealing Craftsman, not Walmart.
Its a fact Jack! Over 90 percent of the crime comes from youngstown they drive up south ave and drive back on south ave. Never have to make a turn. next largest is from columbiana. Very few if at all from boardman.
@ taxme:
I'm surprised to see that you think Columbiana is a greater source of problem people than Boardman itself, unless I misread your comment.
Boardman has become home to many trouble makers. It has long ago lost its innocents.
I would think the people in Columbiana ,would steal from their own Walmart in Salem.
Tools ? Did the comment poster mean FOOLS ? or is this another name for an ethnic group? Here in FL I notice lately the police reports describe the bad guy as having dreadlocks. What does that tell you?
don....you're comment tells me you're a racist.
Crime is everywhere. It's the result of jobs, schools, the breakdown of the community, families. It's 35 years in the making. Sometimes I wonder if Youngstown is a case study for what happens when a city is destroyed by the variables that beset its residents. We now are in Toronto and my wife doesn't sit her purse down anytime. You don't tempt people regardless of who they are or where they are from. The dread statement isn't racist, coming from a black man. It's a description. When they don't mention any characteristics it's usually a white suspect. But it’s rare that they say, the suspect is a white male. Or maybe I don’t hear it. We as African Americans are very sensitive to people putting the blame on an entire race because of the actions of a few. But again Youngstown is unlike no other and the division of people. I remember my father listening to the radio and listening to the talk shows to get a feel of how the callers thought. Incidents were always divided by racial lines.
Bozo! Pick up the boardman news and read all about it. Most are crack heads from the city and the remainder are heroin addics from columbiana. Oh ya all those kids in columbiana have guns too.
Did he really say Tools? LMFAO!

""don....you're comment tells me you're a racist.""
Why is it because someone says (..the police reports describe the bad guy as having dreadlocks.) there considered "racist?" Really? Can't say nothing without the "racist" word involved. smh at society today.

Really? Now I've seen 99.9999% of the time, if it's a black suspect there is no mention, but if it's a white person, it's mentioned every time. (not just in the vindy but in all of the media worldwide).
Awhile ago, I showed examples of just this from all over.
"I remember my father listening to the radio and listening to the talk shows to get a feel of how the callers thought. Incidents were always divided by racial lines."
Not just in Youngstown but all over the ole USA.
I think craftsman tools are really good
2short....If you're going to quote someones post you should at least do it accurately.
The quote was: "Here in FL I notice lately the police reports describe the bad guy as having dreadlocks. What does that tell you?"
The REAL quote tells me that don is a racist and you can't read.
camb
Oh, so Don is a racist for making a comment, which I have no clue how you can come up with calling him one from his, REAL quote. You don't know Don, do you? Explain why it's a racist comment? Dreadlocks? That's racist? Since when?
I'm sure I can read Skippy, College graduate, Navy veteran and on and on.....but you should be careful calling someone a racist when you have no clue what kind of person they are.
It's funny how fools say someone is racist because of a comment! What a society we live in. smh at such stupidity.
I wonder what she looks like, actually, it looks like we already covered that topic.
These types of things will continue until our justice system improves. . you gotta blame the liberals for the soft penalties these crooks get. We need better justice for victims. There are good cops and bad cops unfortunately in ytown its a mixture of the two. The police need to do a better job of tracking down criminals and solving crimes but their hands are tied due to our poor laws and budget cuts.
