A woman has been charged with aggravated robbery after an attempted robbery of an East Columbus drive-thru ended in the death of her dog.
The incident happened at Brothers Drive-Thru at 1535 East Livingston Avenue just before 11 pm. 21-year-old Simone Kendrick entered the drive-thru with her dog and a five-year-old child.
According to an affidavit, Kendrick attempted to buy something but did not have enough money. Police say she argued with store clerks and threatened to beat them up before punching one of them in the face through the car window.
Kendrick then threatened to fire her weapon unless the cashiers handed over the food. One of the clerks attempted to grab the gun and Kendrick fired multiple shots, killing her dog in front of her child. Nobody else was reported injured.
Columbus police say the gun was stolen. Kendrick is charged with aggravated robbery and more charges may be filed in the near future.
Opposing Views noted:
Kendrick kept an active Twitter presence until 2013, calling the biological father a “deadbeat” and writing about getting high and trying to stay out of jail.
“Still high from lastnight but goodmorning wake and bake,” she wrote in Feb. 2013.
“I don’t want to go to jail.” said another tweet. “Not again!!”
