“I am hoping he actually pays for the phone,” said Williams on Wednesday from the Wakefield store. “I had to pay $ 175 to get a new phone and I’m still paying for the contract.”


Williams said the suspect chatted her and another co-worker up before the theft, mentioning that he was in the midst of sex reassignment surgery and then flashed one of the women.
