Two Shoplifters Connected to Cases Nationwide Arrested In Lululemon Dressing Rooms

Two shoplifting suspects remain jailed today following their arrests last week while caught inside dressing rooms of the Lululemon store in the Gulch neighborhood removing tags from merchandise. Employees at the store recognized Satonya Maiden, 46, and Ebony Hammond, 33, both from Baton Rouge, for having theft warrants involving their stores across the country.

Hammond originally provided Central Precinct officers with two false last names and two fraudulent social security numbers. A key fob for a Kia parked not far from the store was located in Hammond’s purse during her arrest. Inside the vehicle, Organized Retail Crime detectives located more than $10,000 worth of merchandise from Lululemon, Alo, Sephora, Ulta and Carhartt connected to thefts out of state.

Both women were banned from Lululemon locations nationwide following a theft arrest in another state. Each have full extradition warrants for theft cases (Maiden out of Texas, Arkansas and Iowa; Hammond out of Texas, Virginia, Arkansas and Louisiana).

Maiden was charged with burglary, theft, drug possession, and being a fugitive from justice. Hammond was charged with burglary, theft, criminal impersonation, and being a fugitive from justice.
