Shoplitfter Who Pepper Sprayed Workers Sentenced
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A woman who pepper sprayed two people while shoplifting boots from a store has been sentenced to 3 years in prison.
Twenty-five-year-old Cierra Scott of Brooklyn Park pleaded guilty to robbery and reckless endangerment. The Capital of Annapolis reports that she was sentenced Tuesday in Circuit Court in Annapolis.
