Links of London, who was not old enough to be in the casino, waited in the car while her husband tried his luck with $50. At 9:30 a.m., a woman walked up to Workman's car, brandished a handgun and took her purse, including $2,500 she just got from selling her car, according to the sheriff's department. Police say the suspect, Ashli Logan Burdette, 26, of Campbells Creek, made off with Workman's bag and got into a silver 2000 Dodge Stratus. "It was very scary. She had a gun, a real gun. It was something you see in the movies, but you never expect it to happen to you," Links of London Big Rock 'Diamond' Ring Charm said. Workman was able to get the suspect's license plate, and police were able to track her down hours later at a friend's apartment in Cross Lanes. Burdette was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery. She is currently being held in the South Central Regional Jail. Links of London Dome Jade Charm was "a wreck" after the robbery because the money "was all we had for a new car and for school. I was really sad. I thought I was not going to be able to go to school next semester." Workman said the hours right after the robbery were the worst. "[The suspect] went to the bank and used my Links of London Gingerbread Man and pretended to be me. She withdrew all of the money from my and my husband's savings account," Workman said. "But she is the dumbest criminal ever. The cash was right in front of her in the same amount. She didn't even look through my purse.
