The Uniform Store AKA the Uniform Outlet at the Taubman Outlet Mall was visited by Sheila Massie, 36 of Wentzville. Massie who works in the health care field arrived carrying an empty large handbag. She was wearing some dark blue medial scrubs.
She went about the store thinking she was not being watched and was shoving scrubs in the empty purse and up the sleeve of a coat she was wearing. She thought wrong about not being watched and the store manager called the Chesterfield Police. As luck would have it, two officers from the retail patrol unit were in the area of the Taubman Outlet Mall. After getting the call and the description of Massie, they saw her leaving the mall in the area of the Uniform Store. They stopped her and told her that they were investigating a theft involving her. Massie got super nervous, the officer asked her what was in her purse and she responded “stolen stuff.”
When police searched her purse they found 7 style scrub clothing and another rolled up in the sleeve of her jacket. Police noted that the purse was completely empty after they took out the stolen goods. Only purpose of the purse was to jam scrubs in it. “A scrub will only act if only for a scrub.” What?
