Marion Superior Court 30 Judge Cynthia L. Oetjen sentenced Denise Honorio on Thursday. She pled guilty in Marion Superior Court 30 to a mid-level felony charge of aggravated battery, a mid-level felony charge of robbery resulting in bodily injury, and a low-level felony charge of criminal mischief causing at least $50,000 in damage. As part of the arrangement, two minor theft charges were dismissed.
According to Indiana State Police, Honorio vandalized around 50 cars worth more than $50,000 in the state-operated Washington Street Parking Garage, which is located northeast of Victory Field. The cars were spray-painted, and on February 2, 2024, state police issued an alert with photographs of a person with the aim of obtaining public assistance in locating a suspect.
At 4:10 p.m. on February 2, 2024, Honorio robbed a woman near IU Health Methodist Hospital, according to state police.
According to online court documents obtained by News 8 on Wednesday from the Marion County Clerk’s Office, an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department detective believes Honorio assaulted a shopper on February 4, 2024, in the parking garage of Fresh Thyme grocery, 6301 N. College Ave. in the Broad Ripple area.
The woman shopper, described in court filings as “DB,” told officers she had just left the grocery store and was on her way to her car. That’s when another woman smacked “DB” in the head, knocking her down.
According to court filings, a witness to the incident followed Honorio and saw her enter what seemed to be a brown Nissan vehicle around Broad Ripple Avenue and College Avenue.
The IMPD video recorded Honorio in the area walking in sweatpants with the words “OFF THE WALL” clearly displayed. Honorio’s sweatpants and the sunglasses she wore in the video were discovered after a search warrant was executed at her apartment.
Honorio told IMPD that she utilized IndyGo to go around the city, and security cameras on buses captured her in the Broad Ripple area.
Honorio remained in Marion County Jail on Thursday afternoon, according to online records.
