ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Video shows a pregnant woman chasing down a suspected thief and hitting him with her SUV in a North Carolina Walmart parking lot.
The incident happened around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday after Christine Braswell, 26, claimed she saw Robert Raines rummaging through her SUV, WLOS reports.
A witness to the alleged break-in, Blake Bennett, said he confronted Raines.
“When I walked out of Walmart, he had her purse and was pulling all of her stuff out,” Bennett said. “Then me and my friend told him to put it down and ‘What are you doing?'”
Raines ran away with Braswell’s purse when she confronted him. She initially chased him on foot but decided to pursue him in her vehicle because she’s pregnant.
“He was with my purse and he took off and I took off after him,” Braswell told WLOS. “Me being five months pregnant, I chased a little ways then come back, jumped in the car, threw it in gear and come across the curb and ran him over. I was not going to let him get away with it. It’s not right, it’s not fair.”
Raines was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. He is charged with breaking and entering, larceny and damage to property.
Braswell is charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Way to go pregnant woman!
mama don’t play that!!! …. that’s called ‘taking care of business’
Don’t become between a momma bear and her cubs , or soon to be cubs
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THIS LAWLESS BULLSHIT, AND THE SO- CALLED PO- LICE THAT DEFEND IT………………..
You can’t assault garbage. Anyone who steals from another forfeits their humanity.
I hope the assault charges for the mom dont stick
Needs a good attorney. She was just trying to detain him using the least amount of force with the means she had available to her.
And besides that, everyone with a brain knows not to mess with a pregnant woman.
FUKKIN A !!!!!!
Ha Ha Ha…..luvin’ it.
I knew playing Gran Theft Auto would pay off, lolololol.
Wow….BA.
Didn’t see THAT coming, did he. Nice takedown!
That aside, how was she going to purchase anything at Wall World without her purse on her?
