South Broadway Street Thefts
Christie Lee Wilson of Cooper was arrested at 8:59 p.m. Nov. 22, in the 1700 block of South Broadway Street on a theft of property valued at less than $2,500, a charge enhanced to a felony offense because the woman has two or more prior convictions, according to arrest reports.
