Knocked to ground by fleeing SUV after wallet stolen in west Little Rock, woman tells police

A 49-year-old South Carolina woman was knocked to the ground by a fleeing SUV after she approached it to try and get back her stolen wallet Wednesday night at a west Little Rock gas station, authorities said.

It happened about 7:30 p.m. as the victim was beside her 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee pumping gas at the Shell station at 11401 Cantrell Road, which is by the Pleasant Ridge Town Center shopping center west of Interstate 430, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

The woman told investigators that she watched as a "pregnant black female" opened her passenger door, took her wallet from inside and then ran to a Chevrolet Tahoe that was parked at a nearby pump, the report said.

The victim ran to the Tahoe, opened one of its doors and demanded her wallet back, police said, but the Tahoe backed up, knocked the woman to the ground and then drove off.

The 49-year-old suffered a cut to her elbow, but she declined medical attention, the report said.

No suspects were named on the report, and no arrests had been made at the time it was filed.
