Amy Schumer Arrested For Grand Larceny [but avoided jail because relative is U.S. Senator]

Amy Schumer‘s new movie Trainwreck draws heavily from her own life, but there’s one embarrassing incident that didn’t make it to the big screen: her arrest for grand larceny shoplifting!

Schumer has previously admitted that she had sticky fingers well into her adult years. “It was just all from, like, department stores,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “I guess the impressive part was that I would return it for cash, and the most that I’d ever made was probably around $1,000. But I did it a lot.”

When she was 21, however, her bad habit caught up to her, and she and sister Kim Schumer — who is now a writer on her show — were arrested during one foiled heist.

“We were arrested for grand larceny,” the Inside Amy Schumer star admitted, but her relationship with uncle Charles Schumer, a New York Senator, came in handy.

She said, “[The cops] were like, ‘You’re lucky you have this last name.’ And they pleaded it down, to like disturbing the peace or something.”

The case is so old that no publicly available records remain in New York, but Schumer, now 34, has said the incident almost torpedoed her chance at fame.

“I really thought that sh*t was off the record, until I was on Last Comic [Standing, in 2007] and they asked me if I had any arrests,” she told Laughspin in 2011, “and I was like, ‘Eh, not really.’ They have real lawyers … and they knew everything I’d stolen.”

So because she makes a great show of BEING COMFORTABLE with it, then that’s cool and then I ALSO am supposed to think that, right?

Well I do NOT.

And she’s fat and DISGUSTING.

She’s a fat, disgusting THIEF.

About as unexpected as a crocodile eating a villager. Democrats are thieves. It’s what they do.

From all the accusations that she has been stealing jokes from other comedians for years, it sounds like she hasn’t gotten over her thieving ways.

Did she really return things for cash? Without a receipt? Usually store credit is given...bad enough, but I’ve been the clerk on the other end of those transactions. I can tell you, I memorized everything about the thief’s appearance and what they were returning, in case I ever needed to testify against them. I never did need to, but I was told that several of the thieves that I reported were prosecuted and served some time. As soon as they were out they would come back for more. It always disgusted me.

And here I thought Ms. Schumer’s only talent was the ability to speed-talk non-stop indefinitely.

I notice there is no mention of Chuck Schumer’s party affiliation.

We need a new FR rule: If you post something like that, you also have to post eye bleach.

A pic like this deserves a 24 hour ban, unless eye bleach accompanies it. Seriously, that’s nasty.

Schumer also has a well known habit of stealing jokes from other comics.

She got special treatment because of her uncle’s status in D.C. This is The Swamp. This elitist crap is why Trump was elected.
