Authorities in Oklahoma City have made a public appeal for assistance in identifying a woman responsible for assaulting a gas station clerk in late August. Releasing surveillance footage of the incident, which took place amid the clerk's workday, the Oklahoma City Police Department hopes that community members will be able to aid in their search.
According to KOCO News, the altercation was prompted by the woman's displeasure with the signage outside the gas station, specifically its display of the gas prices. The suspect, described as wearing a leopard print hat and a blue sweater, was caught on camera engaging in a brief exchange with the clerk before attacking them. “The suspect punched the victim in the face before leaving the store," Sgt. Dillon Quirk said, in a statement obtained by KOCO News.
Further details shared by OKC FOX and the Oklahoma City Police Department's Facebook page underscore the clarity of the footage, noting a distinctive scar on the woman's left cheek. It's this detail that investigators believe will help the public recognize and identify the suspect. The Oklahoma City Police Department encourages anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that tipsters can submit information anonymously and may be eligible for a reward. Crime Stoppers is ready to receive tips at 405-235-7300 or through their online portal.
