She claims it was a big misunderstanding, deputies say there is nothing to misunderstand.

The incident happened on the night of October 28, 2011.

A deputy who was keeping an eye on the Haunted Farm event says she witnessed Lauren Medina, 23, and a male friend each grab a pumpkin from a display barrel and then walk out of the park and to their car. That is when deputies detained them and cited them for shoplifting.

Yikes, she will go in front of a jury. I have NEVER seen that happen on a Petty Larceny and police were the ones who stopped her not an employee of the place.

Then she was offered a deal if she pled guilty she would get probation. There has to be something more going on there then just a small theft.

It is her choice.....everyone has a right to a jury of their peers no matter the charge


I think you are right. I've just never seen it done.

Yeah, that's a pretty different story than her buying a bunch of stuff and forgetting to pay for one item.
