Woman Leaves Children in Car while she Shoplifts
A Kissimmee woman left her 11-year-old daughter and a friend’s infant in the car while she was shoplifting.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Stacey Armstrong went into a Publix supermarket and was caught stealing bags of candy and cosmetics, items totaling about $100 in value. She left her car running with her daughter and a newborn she was babysitting inside.
The woman admitted to shoplifting once before from another Publix location, and she said on that occasion she had stolen goods worth about $160. Armstrong said she could afford the merchandise and was not sure why she had shoplifted.
Armstrong faces two counts of petty theft and one count of child neglect.
A petty theft misdemeanor involves stealing goods with a total value under $300. There are a number of possible consequences for a petty theft conviction, including jail time and fines. Shoplifting is fairly common in Florida and often perpetrated by first-time offenders. Whether you have shoplifted before or if you are a first-time offender, the attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm will work aggressively to find the best possible outcome to your case.
If you have been charged with theft or shoplifting in Orlando, Florida, or anywhere in Florida, please contact the experienced criminal defense lawyers at the Umansky Law Firm to schedule a consultation.
