Comedian not laughing after shoplifting arrest http://www.privateofficer.com
BRAINTREE MA Aug 30 2008
Local stand-up comedian Annette Pollack probably isn’t laughing much these days.
Pollack, 52, isn’t as well known as Hollywood actress Winona Ryder, who was arrested and charged with shoplifting in Beverly Hills in 2001.
The two women, however, now have something in common: Both have been accused of shoplifting.
Police said Pollack was at Filene’s Basement at South Shore Plaza on Monday night when she was seen stuffing a watch, two sets of earrings, four pairs of socks and four bottles of perfume into a handbag and then left the store without paying.
The $314.88 take also included a ring that Pollack allegedly put on a finger.
Store security caught up with her in the parking lot and called police.
Pollack, who is also an actress, comedy show producer and certified public accountant, is now looking for a lawyer to handle her case.
The Patriot Ledger profiled her last month in the WoMYnZONE section of the newspaper.
Only last week, Pollack put on a comedy show at Jimbo’s South restaurant.
Contacted at her Braintree home Wednesday, Pollack declined to comment on her arrest.
She pleaded innocent Tuesday in Quincy District Court to a charge of larceny of property worth more than $250.
Judge James McGovern released Pollack on her own recognizance and told her to stay away from Filene’s Basement.
Pollack, who didn’t have a lawyer at her arraignment, was ordered to return to court Oct. 21. She listed herself as being self-employed in court papers.
A police report filed in court stated store security saw Pollack removing sensors on items and then hiding them in her handbag. The report said she used pliers to rip a tag from a Kenneth Cole watch.
Before leaving Filene’s Basement, Pollack stopped at the register to make a small purchase, police said.
Ryder, 36, who has a star on the Hollywood “Walk of Fame,” received worldwide notoriety following her shoplifting arrest at a Saks Fifth Avenue store in December 2001.
Ryder was sentenced to 480 hours of community service and three years’ probation and ordered to pay $3,700 in fines and $6,355 in restitution.

I have to say, I can not agree with you in 100%, but it’s just my IMHO, which could be wrong.
p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where have you got it from?
