Description
In October 1982, Brenda Shoemaker and her children entered a Western Auto Store in Brandon. Shortly after her departure, the proprietors noticed that a diamond ring was missing from its case. Lacking any evidence of the thiefs identity, they decided there would be little point in calling the police. There, no doubt, the matter would have ended had not Brenda Shoemaker been so hardy as to bring the missing ring to the store in January 1983. She claimed that her husband had given it to her for Christmas, but she then told them she didnt want it and would like a refund. The owners recognized the ring and called the police, who soon arrived and arrested Mrs. Shoemaker. She was subsequently indicted and convicted for receiving stolen goods; her eight-year-old son took the ring and gave it to his mother. The trial judge sentenced her to five years with the Department of Corrections with the last four years suspended, provided she maintained good behavior under supervised probation.
