CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A Clarksville woman was arrested after allegedly stealing a battery-operated cart from Walmart when her car wouldn’t start.
Officers responded to a 911 call for a welfare check about a woman driving a Walmart battery-powered cart in the center of the road on the 101st Airborne Division Parkway July 11 around 4 a.m.
When Officer Brittany Hubbard located the woman, she was driving the cart on the shoulder of the road in the area of Victory Road about 1.5 miles from Walmart located at 1680 Ft Campbell Blvd. Officer Hubbard pulled the patrol car behind the woman on the cart and turned on her emergency lights. Police said the woman continued onward and didn’t stop.
Officer Hubbard chased the cart on foot and was finally able to get the woman to stop. According to the information provided to the officer, the woman went to the store to pick up some snacks and when she came out, the car wouldn’t start. She then stole the cart so she could go to her house and get some help to get the car started.
During the course of the investigation, police determined the woman, 41-year-old Jaimie Taylor, had active warrants on file for: Two Counts of Driving on Suspended/Revoked License, Two Counts of Simple Possession, No Insurance, and Child Restraint.
She was booked into Montgomery County Jail on those charges with a bond of $15,500.
A pickup truck was used to return the cart to the store.
