Attorney General Tim Griffin today issued the following statement after aninvestigation led by agents in his office resulted in the arrest of Dominique Dyserajean Price, 32, of Little Rock on a felony count of theft of property:
“I have made combating organized retail crime a top priority for my Special InvestigationsDivision. And as I’ve said many times, stopping organized criminals requires an organizedresponse, and so we’ve focused on strengthening our relationships with law enforcementagencies at the local, state, and federal levels to better take on this challenge.
“We saw an example of that commitment to collaboration paying off in the arrest of DominiquePrice. Agents in my office were contacted in early October by the Sherwood Police Departmentregarding criminal activity that might be a coordinated effort by an organized group.
“After investigating, my agents were able to rule out any connections to organized retail crime,but in so doing they gathered enough evidence to charge Price with theft of property. They alsolearned that she was already wanted on multiple warrants by the Little Rock Police Department,including theft of property, breaking or entering, and criminal use of a prohibited weapon.
“While this particular investigation did not lead us to an organized retail crime operation, thisshows the value of collaboration among law enforcement agencies. A repeat criminal is now offthe streets and will face justice for her crimes.
“I am grateful to the agents in my Special Investigations Division and to the Sherwood PoliceDepartment and the Little Rock Police Department for their excellent work on this case.”
Price was arrested by Little Rock Police on December 5 following a traffic stop. She was bookedinto the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility.
