GLEN ELLYN, Ill. (AP) - A Republican former state lawmaker arrested on a shoplifting charge is free on $1,500 bail.
The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that former state Rep. Sandra Pihos of Glen Ellyn faces a retail theft charge for allegedly stealing nearly $600 in women’s clothes last month from Von Maur in Lombard’s Yorktown Shopping Center. The 71-year-old then allegedly tried to return the stolen items for cash or store credit on the same day.
The newspaper cites a police report obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
