Shoplifter's story www.privateofficer.com

WHITE PLAINS - She may have thought her friend's dad would bail her out; instead, he turned her in.
A 17-year-old Stamford, Conn., girl was charged with second-degree forgery, a felony, and false impersonation, a misdemeanor, after she and a 17-year-old friend, also from Stamford, were both arrested in a store theft in White Plains.
Rhiannon Stefanick and Jena Alcan were picked up shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday after security officers at the Neiman Marcus store, 1 Paulding St., told police that $1,025 worth of clothing had been stolen. Both were arrested and taken to police headquarters, where they were charged with petty larceny, a misdemeanor.
Police said that while she was being processed, Alcan told officers that her last name was Stefanick and that she lived at the same address as Rhiannon Stefanick. She then signed the booking papers, using Stefanick as her last name, police said.
When Rhiannon Stefanick's father came to post the $500 bail for his daughter, he told police that Alcan had lied to them. Alcan later admitted that she had lied and was hit with the additional charge.
