Lodrick’s heart was pounding. Despite the expensive coat, the Prada bag, the glitter-frame Gucci glasses, there was something not right about the impostor she would later learn was named Maria Nelson.
“She had bad teeth and looked like she hadn’t bathed,” the onetime standup comic recalled recently. “I thought, ‘You’re buying Prada on my dime. Go get your teeth fixed.’ ”
When Nelson got up to leave, Lodrick, who is 5 feet 2 and 110 pounds but comes from what she calls “a fighting family,” made an instant decision. First she called 911. Then she followed Nelson down Market Street.
The foot chase was on.
