N.J. Women Charged With Stealing Stripper's Purse

WEST NYACK, N.J. (AP) ― Two New Jersey women went to the Lace topless bar in West Nyack in Rockland County. Police say they got a lap dance and got chummy with one of the dancers. However, Clarkstown Police say when they were about to leave, one of the women hugged the dancer while her friend reached over the bar and took the dancer's purse, which contained about $400.

When the women tried to get to the front door, employees stopped them and called police.

Sergeant Harry Baumann says 28-year-old Stephanie Setiff of Secaucus and 27-year-old Jaqueline Aragon of South Hackensack were arrested on a variety of charges Tuesday afternoon.

Police have accused Aragon of having the dancer's purse.

Baumann says When officers tried to arrest Setiff, she resisted, kicking one of them. She then kicked out the side window of the police car.

Police charged Setiff with assaulting a police officer, criminal mischief, as well as petty larceny, resisting arrest and criminal possession of stolen property.

Aragon is charged with petty larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

Both women are free after posting bail.
