Suspect Arrested In Homeland Security Secretary Noem’s Purse Theft

10 weeks ago Officials say a suspect has been arrested in connection with last week's theft of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse as she ate at a Washington, D.C., restaurant. Noem’s purse was nabbed on Easter Sunday and reportedly contained about $3,000 in cash, her keys, driver’s license, passport and Homeland Security badge. The department said Noem had cash in her purse to pay for gifts, dinner and other activities for her family on Easter. The Secret Service says the suspect was taken into custody without incident in Washington, D.C. It calls the suspect a “serial offender.”
