DeLAND, Fla. - Volusia County deputies have arrested a woman who they say stole more than $300 worth of meat and household items from a DeLand Winn Dixie by stuffing it down her pants.

Doris Rowe, 46, was arrested in the theft Tuesday afternoon at the Winn Dixie on North Woodland Boulevard.

Deputies said store employees saw Rowe take two packages of pork ribs, five ribeye steaks, six pounds of ground beef, four packages of bacon, bleach and Brita tap filters.

When employees stopped Rowe, she refused to give back the merchandise and hit the worker in the neck trying to get away, according to the report.

Rowe then got into a vehicle driven by Kenneth Edwards, 54, and drove away, but both were stopped about 15 minutes later.

Edwards was arrested on principal to strong-arm robbery and retail theft charges. Rowe was arrested on strong-arm robbery and grand theft charges.

Both were booked into the Volusia County jail.
