BANGOR, Maine — A local woman was arrested Wednesday afternoon after leaving Kohl’s with unpaid items, police said.

Meshel White, 18, of Bangor concealed $40 worth of socks and jewelry in her purse and tried to leave the store, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said.

Police were quickly contacted when White left the store, and Officer James Dearing responded and arrested her.

She was booked into the Penobscot County Jail and later released on bail. (Ryan McLaughlin, BDN)

  1. wouldn’t a summons be enough? I forgot it’s Rambo Dearing. Good thing it was not an election warden . Did he need to draw his gun on the little girl?

    1.  There may be more circumstances than what we’ve been told- she may be on probation, she could be a repeat offender, or any number of other reasons.
