Truck stolen after altercation

A Maxton woman recently reported that her truck was stolen after a brief altercation.

Pamela Oxendine, 28, reported Wednesday evening that a woman stole her 2000 Chevy Silverado while it was parked at the C&D Mini Mart, a Robeson County sheriff’s report said.

Oxendine said that she stopped to put air in her tires. When she was finished, she climbed into the driver’s seat and a woman wearing an orange shirt and blue denim shorts was in the passenger seat holding her keys, the report said.

The woman hit Oxendine repeatedly in the head with her fists, and Oxendine got out of the truck. The woman drove the $10,000 truck away. Oxendine’s wallet, worth $40 with cash and identification cards, was inside the vehicle.
