At the time of the stop, Brown was in possession of an unopened package that did not belong to her. Brown was also found to have several active warrants for her arrest and was placed in custody without incident.

The investigation led by Detective Holmes identified Brown as the suspect in two other unrelated package thefts from front porches.
