After the mistrial was announced, Robinson and Heinrich declined to comment.

During the trial, Assistant District Attorney Kara Crawford told the jury that Casper police, in trying to get the wallet from Heinrich and return it to its owner, "spent two hours doing what could have taken 10 minutes."

After letting police know she had found the wallet, Heinrich, communicating via telephone, told police at least four times she would not give it to them without the owner's consent. Instead, she said, she preferred to hand it over to the man himself, according to courtroom testimony.

Officer Joseph Moody, who handled the incident and took the witness stand Thursday, described Heinrich's demeanor while on the phone with him as "completely uncooperative."

"The whole situation was just kind of bizarre," he said.

Three law enforcement officers eventually went to her home to get the wallet. The officers who arrested her there said she initially agreed to hand over the wallet, but after telling one officer he could enter her home, she yelled at another and told him he could not come in. At that point, she was arrested for interference and told police where the wallet could be found.
