“I felt him in my pocket,” Dunham said. “I turned to see, well I see him, and there’s nobody’s gonna’ have their hand in my pocket without me reacting. That’s how fast it was, just seconds.”
Jones backed away and Dunham seized the opportunity to seek help from a nearby Bank of America. The bank manager called 911 and relayed Jones’ description.
“So he walks by the window, I tell her that’s the man who tried to pick my pocket, so she’s explaining what he looks like to the dispatcher,” Dunham said.
