I missed the fact she was indeed charged with (v), it indeed looks worse that way though it's probably still rebuttable that the subsequent assault was part of them trying to apprehend someone who had already committed the theft. This is definitely the sort of thing that PA over charges with so that they can get an easy guilty plea to the other offenses. Still, she needs an attorney prior to the prelims. The prelims is where the lawyers and the DAs typically do their wheeling and dealing on the charges.
