Authorities say an obese woman attempted to shoplift more than $600 in electronic merchandise from a Rochester Hills store last week, but her slow-motion getaway was foiled when her motorized cart got stuck in the doorway.

No, it didn't happen at Wal-Mart.

30-year-old Jerrie Perkins of Pontiac was arraigned Thursday on several charges -- unarmed robbery, second-degree retail fraud, resisting arrest and obstructing a police officer -- after the incident at Meijer on Rochester Road.

Employees say Perkins set off the alarm when she got stuck and failed to produce a receipt when requested. She then allegedly punched a loss prevention officer in the face and threatened a Oakland County Sheriff's Deputy, who eventually used a Taser gun to subdue her.

The newspaper lists Perkins as 5-foot-2 and 400 pounds, explaining her need for a motorized cart. But absent unreleased security camera footage, it's left to the imagination to determine how she managed to throw a punch or assume a "fighting stance," as the sheriff's office alleges.

But as George Costanza can tell you, daring escapes sometimes require normal-human feats of physical strength.
