MILFORD
A traffic reporter for WTNH-TV in New Haven said she was a "freelance news reporter, and she was doing something on the side" when she walked out of Sears without paying for $105 in merchandise, police said.
Desiree Fontaine, 33, was charged with sixth-degree larceny Saturday.
Police said Fontaine took a $40 bottle of cologne, two gold earrings worth $3.99 each and $15 necklace from the jewelry department and went into a fitting room.
Fontaine left the fitting room without the merchandise, and when store security checked the fitting room, they found the price tags for the jewelry, the police report states.
Then Fontaine went to the men's department, selected a Hawaiian shirt worth $42 and returned to the fitting room, the report states. She exited the fitting room, but the shirt was not visible, the report states.
Store security checked the fitting room again and found the price tag for the shirt, the report states.

Well, well. Like another cub-reporter from Connecticut who fell into a pot of jam. Maybe when she's all worn out Oprah will replace her with Ms. Fontaine.

I wonder if he is still cheering her on?
Only if he wears cheap earrings and the same dress size.
