A woman dragged a child while trying to fight off security officers at the Florida Mall after she was caught stealing, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said a loss prevention officer at Dillard’s saw Shantoria Harris take $356 worth of clothes from the children’s section then try to leave the store without paying. When confronted, Harris dragged a small child she was with as she hit a security officer in the face and struck other loss prevention employees, according to the affidavit.
