Bridgeport Mother, Daughter Arrested After Kicking Out Glass Doors, Using Stun Gun On Store Clerk: Fairfield Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — A Bridgeport mother and her 12-year-old daughter were arrested after allegedly causing $2,000 worth of damage at the 7-Eleven at 3232 Post Road in Fairfield by kicking out the glass doors after the clerk locked them inside the store because he suspected them of shoplifting, according to multiple reports. The 12-year-old girl is also accused of using a stun gun on the clerk during the incident.

It all began around 8 p.m. on Sunday when the clerk locked the pair in the store and called police because he suspect them of stealing Red Bull. The clerk told police that the pair had become friendly with him during previous visits but he noticed that his inventory of Red Bull was always short after they were at the store, according to the Connecticut Post.

The Post reports that surveillance video allegedly showed the suspects taking cans of Red Bull on two other occasions in July.

Police arrived on the scene to find all three still in the parking lot and took the woman, Dorsey Saunders, 41, and her 12-year-old daughter into custody, according to the Fairfield Daily Voice.

The Daily Voice reports that Saunders denied stealing anything from the store and said they were confused why the clerk located them inside and they kicked their way out because they were scared. Police found a bag of cold Red Bull cans inside their car, along with other packs of Monster and Red Bull, according to the Daily Voice.
