Huntsville Police Ask for Public Assistance in Identifying Purse Thief Linked to $12,000 Fraudulent Withdrawal

Huntsville Police Seek Help in Identifying Alleged Thief

Huntsville, Ala. – This week, the Huntsville Police are on the lookout for a woman who has become a pretty notorious figure in the community, thanks to a crime committed back in June. According to police officials, she is accused of stealing a purse that was left in a car parked on Alex McAllister Drive. This wasn’t just a petty theft, though; it spiraled into something much more serious.

After stealing the purse, this alleged thief made her way to a local bank drive-thru. The bank’s surveillance cameras caught some clear images of her as she executed her next move – withdrawing a staggering $12,000 from the victim’s account. That’s right, folks, $12,000! It’s quite the sum, and the police are hoping that by sharing these details, someone in the community might recognize her or have crucial information to help them out.

Other Individuals Wanted by Police

While the police are focusing on the purse-snatcher, they are also spreading the word about a few other individuals who are currently wanted. One of these individuals is Autumn Devaney, who is facing serious charges for chemical endangerment. Police say she allegedly took drugs while pregnant and, as a result, passed substances to her newborn baby. This situation is particularly upsetting, as it puts the health and safety of a child at great risk.

Another name that has come up in the police files is Darrell Lett. He is wanted for statutory rape, with the authorities claiming he had sexual relations with a minor who is under 16. This type of crime is alarming, and the police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Elijah Hutchens, a convicted sex offender, is also on the police radar for failing to register as one. It’s crucial for sex offenders to keep the authorities updated on their whereabouts for community safety, and Hutchens has not complied.

Finally, the police have their eyes set on Stephen Ledonne. This individual is also wanted for failing to register as a sex offender. What makes him particularly memorable, according to the police, is that he has been known to frequent local parks with his bearded dragon. That’s right, folks – a bearded dragon! While it’s not every day you see that combo, the police believe it may help the community keep an eye out for him.
