The victim told police that 20-year-old Kinzy “Lil Bitt” Gonzalez grabbed her purse, then hopped into a waiting car yesterday afternoon.

The woman tried getting the purse back by opening the car door and was dragged briefly before falling as it sped away, Detective Michael Colaneri told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Moments later, Rutherford police stopped the vehicle.
