The victim said that she parked her car on the side of the road to attend a gymnastics conference. When she came back to her car she found the damage.

On April 27, 2019, police were dispatched to the Center for the Arts at Safford High School. A woman told authorities that as she left the auditorium and approached her vehicle – which was parked curbside on 14th Avenue – she noticed a large tumbleweed sitting next to her car. When she moved the tumbleweed she discovered that the back passenger side window had been shattered and her purse had been taken from inside the vehicle. The purse apparently contained several hundred dollars in cash and checks as well as credit cards.
