When she caught up to her, she started filming the encounter.
"I don't even know what came out of my mouth or even why I said what I did. It just happened," Abeyta said. "I was mad as hell. There was no way I was going to let her go. I would have ran for as many miles as I had to to get my package."
The woman initially denied that she'd taken anything, but eventually she coughed up the package.
