The Pro-Cleaners & Rental dry cleaning establishment in Spanish Fork, Utah, had already been robbed numerous times this year when, shortly before 10 a.m. on March 9, another miscreant struck the beleaguered business. This time it was a 16-year-old girl wearing a mask and armed with a stun gun similar to those issued to police officers. The front desk was unattended when she entered the store, but new store employee Lily Scholl, 18, happened to glance at a mirror positioned to show the desk and noticed the masked teenager.

When the young thief grabbed the cash drawer and attempted to scurry out a side door, Scholl yelled at her, then rushed to the door, grabbed the fleeing girl's sweatshirt, and pulled her back into the store. The two combatants fell to the floor and, during the ensuing scuffle, Scholl was punched in an eye, bitten on her arms, and zapped at least twice with the stun gun. Those zaps "hurt really bad," Scholl later told Salt Lake City television station KTVX. "It was like a bum, but wasn't on the skin. It was on the inside. It stung all the way through."
