A woman was arrested Friday night following a shoplifting attempt that turned confrontational at a local business in Seneca Falls.
Terissa S. Mayo, 31, of Seneca Falls, was taken into custody by the Town of Seneca Falls Police Department at 8:12 p.m. on June 13. Authorities said Mayo stole merchandise and exited the property without paying. While an Asset Protection employee called 911, Mayo attempted to seize the employee’s phone.
Police arrested Mayo at the scene. She was charged with one count of petit larceny and one count of criminal mischief in the fourth degree. Both are misdemeanors.
Mayo was issued an appearance ticket and is expected to respond to the charges at a later date.
