Losing your debit card is generally pretty bad. It’s even worse when you leave it behind when you’re accused in an armed robbery.

Tyshea Sheree Thomas, 41, also known in certain circles as “Miss Smarty Pants,” because she loves the candies “Smarties” and she always has them in her pants left her debt card at a robbery attempt last weekend at A-Plus on the 1200 block of Lititz Pike. Thomas is accused of approaching the store clerk just after 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 24, pointing a black and silver handgun at the woman, and demanding cash.

Thomas then climbed over the counter and aimed the gun at the clerk’s head, police said. When the woman opened the register, Thomas took cash from the drawer and fled on foot.

Thomas left her debit card on the counter and investigators determined she had used it at a nearby ATM prior to the robbery.

Thomas is charged with felony counts of robbery and making terroristic threats, as well as a misdemeanor count of theft by unlawful taking.
