Woman allegedly stuffed stolen clams down her shorts

Police in Florida arrested a woman they say stuffed stolen clams in her pants and walked out of a store.

Debra Marceau, 52, was charged with retail theft in the incident earlier this month.



Police said Marceau went into the freezer section of Publix in Palm Bay, opened a box of frozen clams and put them down the front of her shorts. Marceau also tried to put $45 worth of items in her purse, including a frozen pizza, police said.

Marceau told police that she removed the food without paying because she is "homeless and disabled," according to the report. She was arrested and taken to Palm Bay Police Department.
