PORT CHARLOTTE, FLORIDA - A woman was arrested Monday after being accused of stealing a motorized Publix shopping cart and driving it down Airport Road in Punta Gorda.
According to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a Publix store located on Tamiami Trail in Punta Gorda around 10:12 a.m.
Deputies say they talked to the store manager, who told them that a woman had come to the store, stolen a motorized shopping cart and was seen driving it south on Tamiami Trail from Airport Road.
Deputies tracked the woman, identified as Robin Zick, 42, of Punta Gorda, to a Circle K gas station on South Tamiami Trail, almost a mile from the Publix.
Deputies met with Zick, who was still sitting on the cart, and confirmed that the cart, valued at $2,500, was stolen from the Publix.
