A clerk at a convenience store on Drayton Street called police to notify them of a shoplifting in progress. When officers arrived on the scene they made contact with the young woman who was believed to have stashed several items in her purse without paying for them.She was asked if she had any merchandise she had not paid for, and showed officers a cup of fruit in her hand. She was asked if she had any additional items and said no. Everyone waited patiently for the clerk to finish ringing up a large group of customers. In the interim, the woman who had been detained pulled two rings out of her pocket and said that she planned to pay for them, but that her hands were full with the fruit cup. The officers asked if she would mind them looking in her purse. She gave several evasive answers, and then granted them permission. Inside her purse, she had several items with price tags on them matching merchandise in the store. While officers were speaking with her, she pulled a plastic baggie out of her purse and stuffed it down the front of her pants. The move did not go unnoticed by the officers. She was handcuffed and a female officer was called in to retrieve the baggie, which was found to contain oxycodone and other pain killers. Police also recovered a burnt spoon from the young woman's purse. Officers watched the store's surveillance video and saw the woman pocketing items. In total, she had netted $80.61 in merchandise. She was arrested for two counts of possession of a controlled substance, drugs not in original container, and theft by shoplifting. She was transported to CCDC.
