Martha Parchue

Sixty-five-year-old grandmother Martha Parchue returned to court today on a charge of theft for shoplifting in a popular supermarket. Parchue is accused of stealing Celebrity brand boneless chopped ham valued at seven dollars and fifty cents from off the shelf at Lucky Star Supermarket on Central American Boulevard.  The store owner told police that Parchue was seen removing the ham and storing it inside her pants but was caught before she could get away. She pleaded not guilty before Chief Magistrate Ann-Marie Smith and was offered bail of five hundred dollars. Parchue returns to court on July fifth.
