A wannabe lawmaker running on platforms of anti-crime and aiding small businesses has been accused of shoplifting - by a hardware store owner who has footage of the alleged theft.
A candidate for Seattle's Federal Way City Council, Denise Yun is seen pulling hammers from a shelf at Trinity Ace Hardware on Pacific Highway South in the footage, which was filmed July 18.
In the clip, Yun - a relatively unproven political newcomer who has pleaded guilty to stealing twice in the past - is seen knocking over store signage as she puts the hammers on top of her purse.
Moments later, as she pushes her cart away, the camera appears to show the the 58-year-old Democrat placing the hammers in her purse - before leaving after being confronted by the outraged owner.
Now in the hands of a city prosecutor, the footage has spurred a police investigation as well as a statement from Yun denying the legitimacy of the video.
The Democrat - who works as a nurse - claims it was purposely edited ahead of the city's upcoming election to hurt her chances, and that it shows her storming out not because she was confronted, but because she was met with a racist remark from the store owner. She has since vowed to move ahead with her campaign.

That’s what we’re fighting against. We have have to adopt their morals. Ask God’s forgiveness later.
Well, it DOES show that she is qualified for the office; however, she needs some brushing up on the “not getting caught” part…
Now THAT is your typical politician behavior. Care about the little guy, push abortion and higher taxes.
Denise Yun is running against my friend, Linda Kochmar, for the Federal Way City Council, Pos. 7. In fact, Linda was doing her fitness walk near the Ace Hardware store when she noticed the Federal Way Police at the store. A KIRO TV reporter was outside giving the report when Linda went over and asked what the police were doing. When she learned that her opponent, Denise Yun, was involved in the shoplifting, she told the reporter, “That’s my opponent!”
For a detailed report by the “Federal Way Mirror”:
Mike Hammer should investigate this case.
