Naked woman who tried to steal items caught in creek

On May 22, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Ward was dispatched to Bunch to speak with the owner of a vehicle about stolen items. Nathan Fritze said he picked up a nude woman who was hitchhiking. She asked him to take her to an address so she could get help.

“Mr. Fritze said that upon arrival, he exited his vehicle and went to knock on the door of the residence when he heard the door to his truck slam shut and saw the female running off,” said Ward.

Fritze noticed the woman was wearing a shirt and carrying items as she fled.

“Mr. Fritze [said] that when he returned to his vehicle, he noticed his wallet — containing his personal identification, credit cards, and other important documentation — was missing, as well as somewhere between $2,000 and $4,000 cash [and] the key fob to his vehicle,” Ward wrote in his report.

Fritze gave deputies a description of the woman and said he gave her a shirt to cover up with. Ward said the woman was possibly Tahlia Poafpybitty, and they had been out with her earlier that day.
