An officer responded to a call for service regarding a battery at Tanglewood Apartments, located at 2006 High St., around 11:52 a.m. Monday, according to an arrest report from the Leesburg Police Department.

Gainey was having trouble with her phone when she tried to use the tap-to-pay feature, the report said.
Gainey then snatched the victim’s $50 in cash off the counter and ran out of the store. The victim got on his bicycle and followed her to Tanglewood Apartments. She gave his money back as the officer arrived on scene, the report said…
