COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – An woman with a laundry list of criminal activity and arrested in connection to a pair of robberies was identified when she left her jail identification card inside one of the purses she allegedly stole. According to court documents, Angel Riggins is charged with two counts of robbery after she allegedly stole two purses the morning of Nov. 18 in northeast Columbus. Police said that Riggins approached a woman sitting in her car while parked at the corner of Agler Road and Joyce Avenue about 12:35 a.m. After knocking on the driver’s side window and announcing herself as “Angel,” Riggins reportedly opened the car door and pulled the driver out of the vehicle. Riggins then allegedly assaulted the woman while also reaching into the woman’s purse. The assault reportedly lasted about 10 minutes before Riggins fled with the victim’s wallet, cash, phone and makeup bag. About six hours later and less than a mile west at a COTA bus stop in the 3100 block of Cleveland Avenue, Riggins allegedly approached a woman and attempted to pull the purse off her shoulder. Police said a confrontation ensued. Higgins fled and the victim was able to retrieve her purse. The victim then noticed that inside the purse was a Franklin County Jail Identification and medical paperwork belonging to Riggins. Both victims were able to identify Riggins from a police photo array. A Franklin County Municipal Court judge issued a $100,000 bond to Riggins, who also faces criminal trespassing charges from an Oct. 27 incident. Riggins has been sentenced or charged with a litany of crimes over the past 15 years, including theft, petty theft, domestic violence, criminal trespassing, forgery, robbery, breaking and entering, and escape. She is next scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 27 for a preliminary hearing.
