Desiree Fontaine, reporter for traffic and style in Connecticut, was arrested this weekend for alleged theft. Desiree Fontaine was detained and charged by police at a Sears store. What crime did Desiree Fontaine allegedly commit? Taking just over $ 100 worth of perfume. Is the Connecticut punishment for sixth degree larceny severe?
Desiree Fontaine accused of shoplifting
Police detained Desiree Fontaine within the Milford, Connecticut Westfield Mall. The Sears store security guards called the police because Desiree Fontaine had been seen taking $ 104.98 worth of perfume without paying for the merchandise. Police were called, and Desiree Fontaine was charge with sixth-degree larceny. The reporter can be appearing as the defendant in court on July 7.
Connecticut Style by Desiree Fontaine
The daily Connecticut Style show is the best thing, next to morning traffic, that Desiree Fontaine is known for. This show is a daily talk show that features money-saving tips, features on culture, and style. The show has never, and probably will never, recommend shoplifting as a money-saving or style tip. WTNH, the station Fontaine works for, has declined to comment on what they’re saying is a “personal matter.”
Sixth Degree Larceny in CT
In Connecticut, the Sixth Degree Larceny charge brought against Desiree Fontaine carries relatively minor punishments. There are six degrees of severity of larceny – taking an item of value without payment or permission – in the state of Connecticut. Sixth Degree Larceny in Connecticut is the lowest level of larceny, for crimes valued under $ 250. Desiree Fontaine could face up to 3 months in jail and fines of up to $ 500, also as a class C misdemeanor on her public record. Some are wondering if this shoplifting charge is a sign of compulsion on Desiree Fontaine’s part, or if there is a bigger story behind the charge.
