ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando police arrested a Florida woman early Tuesday after officers said she pushed a Walmart security guard and got into his marked patrol vehicle, according to an Orange County arrest affidavit.
Police were called to the Walmart at 3101 W. Princeton Street shortly after 1 a.m. for a reported battery, the affidavit states. Dispatchers advised responding officers that the suspect had taken control of a security guard’s vehicle.

When an Orlando police officer arrived, he wrote that he saw a woman — later identified as Anny Louis, 38 — sitting in the driver’s seat of the security vehicle “drinking a soda.”
Officers said they gave commands for her to get out, but she did not respond, the report says. Police then approached, removed her from the vehicle, and handcuffed her.
The security guard told officers he saw Louis sitting on a curb in the parking lot and tried to make contact while on duty and wearing a full uniform, including a badge and identification, the affidavit states. The guard said Louis charged at him and pushed him in the face with an open hand, then entered his vehicle and began adjusting the seat and trying to put it in drive.
“Louis then attempted to drive away, but was unable to due to [REDACTED] turning off the vehicle while she struggled with the gear shifter,” the affidavit reads.
The guard said he removed the keys and called 911, and that Louis did not have permission to enter the vehicle or strike him. He reported no injuries and said he wanted to press charges, according to the affidavit.
Louis was booked into the Orange County Jail. She now faces charges of carjacking and battery on a security officer, jail records show.
