MOORESVILLE, NC - A South Carolina-issued food stamp card led authorities to a man they believe snatched a woman’s purse as she left a Mooresville grocery store last week.

Abyjah Anthony Smith, 19, was arrested on a charge of common law robbery. He is also facing a charge of probation violation from South Carolina.

Capt. Darren Campbell of the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to Food Lion at 835 Williamson Road on Thursday. A woman told deputies that she was leaving the store and a man grabbed her purse. When he didn’t get the purse right away, he pulled harder and pulled her to the ground, Campbell said.

Detective Cameron Jones began an investigation and viewed the store surveillance video. Campbell said the investigation revealed that the suspect checked out of Food Lion in front of the victim and that he used an EBT (food stamp card) from the South Carolina Department of Social Services.

Jones, Campbell said, traced the EBT card and found it was issued to Smith, and he also learned that Smith was wanted on a probation violation from South Carolina. Detectives checked several addresses and were able to locate the suspect and he was taken into custody.

Smith was given a $20,000 bond on the robbery charge and $80,000 on the probation violation charge.

19 year old man.... sounds like he was able-bodied enough. Why was he using an EBT card and robbing folks instead of working at a full-time job?

Why do we continue to put up with this #######?

Why do criminals do what they do? You're right slim, why do we as a society put up with criminals? We really should do more about it!

We shouldn't subsidize it, that's for sure. Why are we paying their rent and for them to eat?

You're right Slim. Anyone who uses, or is forced to utilize government facilities, subsidies, or disbursements should be required to pay it back to the taxpayers!

Or, the taxpayers should just stop paying for it.

That's what I'd recommend. It's way cheaper than trying to recoup money later. Then you'd have to pay people to adminster the program, etc. Better to just cut it entirely.

It seems to me we aren't paying him enough, if he needs to rob others to supplement what he is getting from his government handout.

Excellent point! Perhaps we should pay them more.

Or we can ban society.

I like that.

We can ban food stamps.

Nobody has to starve in America. There is lots of food available. Food stamps and food banks are successful programs. I feel no guilt when I ignore all the drug addicts and alcoholics panhandlers.
