DECATUR, Ala. - A sex shop planned to file an arrest
warrant for a woman who allegedly left the store
without paying for a toy but who left a good lead on
how to find her: She had just filled out a job
application.

"I thought, that is a classic case of dumb-crook
news," said Jamie Hudgins, a sales clerk at Pleasures.

She said the 22-year-old Decatur woman entered the
store with two friends at 12:30 p.m. Monday, completed
a job application and browsed the store before
leaving. The anti-theft alarm at the exit sounded as
she left. She then pulled the $22.12 worth of
merchandise from her purse, tossed it on the floor and
fled, Hudgins said.

Hudgins said an attachment for the sex toy remained in
the woman's purse.

Hudgins told The Decatur Daily in a story Wednesday
that the woman's mother offered to pay for the items
but the store would not be lenient. She said the store
also plans to seek harassment charges against another
woman who called the store in connection with the
alleged shoplifting.
