Woman charged in Pleasantville dollar store robbery

  • News

One woman has been charged in the robbery of a Pleasantville dollar story. Yahminah Butler, 20, of Atlantic City, is charged with robbery after she allegedly shoplifted items from the Family Dollar across from the Pleasantville Shopping Center at about 12:45 p.m. Jan. 13, police said. Butler then pushed her way through a store employee while fleeing, police said. “An already bad choice became much worse as the use of force against the employee" turned the shoplifter into robbery suspect, Capt. Matt Hartman said. Another woman who was with Butler was also sought, but she is not being charged, police said.
