Instead, she stepped into the confrontation, and what the young mother allegedly told her afterward turned a dispute over unpaid groceries into something much more serious. According to Ashley, the mother did not argue back as the shopper continued yelling at her. The mother reportedly had a friend who worked at the bank where she held the account. The friend allegedly said she had seen him repeatedly over the previous four days, which could explain the missing money. The mother reportedly hesitated to press charges because he was her child’s father, but eventually contacted police.
