Teen Charged With Punching Security Agent

Tasharia Taylor, Kristina Bobo-Jackson and Andrea Morales, all 18 and all of the same Des Plaines address, were charged with retail theft Sunday, Jan. 15. A loss prevention agent at a Golf Mill Shopping Center store allegedly observed the three of them carry clothing into a fitting room, then exit without it. A check of the fitting room did not turn up the items, the agent told police, they said.

After the three offenders exited the store without paying, according to the police report, the loss prevention agent approached them and identified herself. According to police, Taylor faced the agent, with Bobo-Jackson and Morales behind her, and pushed the agent's body backward to prevent her from stopping Bobo-Jackson and Morales.

Another loss prevention agent put handcuffs on Taylor. The agents recovered $142.80 worth of clothing from Morales' backpack and $70 of clothing from Jackson's purse, police said. Their court date is March 7 in the Skokie branch of the Cook County courts.
