Lainie Kazan spent Christmas Eve at a police and it is
because she allegedly shoplifted $180 worth of merchandise from Gelson’s that included Comet and Jell-O but no Windex. Now
TMZ is reporting that was not the first time she did that at that grocery market and they were on the lookout for her.
The news site described what an employee told them she would do the days leading up to her arrest, “she would fill up her basket and pretend to walk toward the checkout line, but would then make a quick exit out the door as another group of customers was leaving.” In fact that employee says that they have security footage to backup their story. I am assuming that is one of the only times that an actor does not want to be in front of a camera.
TMZ says they spoke to her lawyer who told them the store, “overreacted and didn’t give her a chance to pay.” I do not have a law degree, but isn’t it the law that you pay for the items before you leave the store. If you do not, then I thought you have committed crime. But again, I do not know the law.
