A woman has been arrested in the robbery of an 8-year-old girl who was selling candy in San Francisco on Monday afternoon, police said.

About 1:45 p.m., the suspect, identified as Ladonna Christian, 46, of San Francisco, approached the girl and asked her to make change for the bus. When the girl, who was selling candy outside of a store near Divisadero and Eddy streets, went to get change, Christian grabbed her arm, twisting it until the girl dropped her money bag, according to police.

Christian grabbed it and quickly made her getaway, police said.

Investigators developed leads and eventually identified Christian as the suspect. She was arrested and booked into San Francisco County Jail on charges of robbery with force, assault with force, and willful harm or injury to a child.
