Investigators with the Sheriff’s Office major crimes unit are asking for the public’s help in locating a woman wanted for questioning in connection with a purse snatching at an Ensley Wal-Mart.

Lisa Marie Zimmermans wanted for questioning in the purse snatching which occurred Saturday, March 7, in the Wal-Mart parking lot located at 8970 Pensacola Blvd.

Williams held onto her purse and struggled with the female suspect as the suspect got into a red Dodge Neon driven by a white male. Williams continued to hold on to her purse as the male suspect drove away, dragging Williams several feet through the parking lot.

    I think a lot in this forum should re-evaluate a few things…. Women have been doing wrong for a long time- the sterotype has been lifted for years now… My reguards go to your Sister, Tammy…. however even sweet people are part of God’s Plan…. Everything happens for a reason- and in this time of pain- I wouldn’t be focused on how she didn’t deserve it… better yet- what it can teach everyone involved

    How very sad that this girl looks like the all american girl and is probably
    just a really bad thug.
    I hope they get her and punisher well. No kissing of the wrists for violent
    crime.

    Tammy, I knew your sister would have surgery and pain. When you break
    bones in the face its just a fact. I have had face surgery and it isn’t pretty.
    Pain is terrible. I hope she recovers and is beautiful again. Tell her
    Horrific wishes her well and remember never go into Walmart again.
    There are other stores that are not as busy and you can be seen easier.

    Hugs

    >>Apparently, this photo came from Lisa Zimmerman’s facebook page

    The photo on this page was provided to the media by the Sheriff’s Office. Not sure where they got it. (Although it is on her Facebook page.)

    Something tells me her mugshot might tell a different tale than the posted picture if in fact she is the accused.

    Ya think that it ever occured to the management at Ensley Wal-Mart that they have a HUGE problem on their hands with all the crime in their parking lot lately?!? I,m not the sort of the person that gets shook easily but I won’t go unless my husband is with me. The other supercenters aren’t that far away.
    Best of luck to lady that was assulted!

    The lady that had her purse snatched is my sister and was hurt very badly. She has already had to undergo 1 surgery to fix broken bones in her face. She is a very sweet giving person and did not deserve to have all this pain. I hope they catch both oft them before someone else gets hurt. Please if anyone knows this girl, please try to talk her into turning herself in.

    Too bad she will only get a slap on the wrist.

    Did she smilelike this for the camera’s? Just wondering how they got the crazy womans name and picture, and she looks so nice. It use to be just stupid males that did stupid things like this, but now days you can’t trust anyone. Hope they catch her and the guy soon. Also hope the lady with the purse wasn’t hurt. I carry my money or credit card in my pocket. My purse gets locked in my trunk when I leave my house. If the police stoped me I would have to get out and get my drivers license for them. Isn’t it terrible what our world has come to?
