Shoplifting leads to drug charge

A 20-year-old Cushing woman was caught shoplifting at Rite Aid May 8, which led to additional charges for drug possession and violating probation, police said.

Store employees watched Nikki Gray as she attempted to filch nearly $40 worth of jewelry, said police.

When police arrived at the Rockland Rite Aid shortly after 5 p.m., Gray was arrested for theft, possession of Suboxone, and violating probation, according to a police report.

The merchandise was returned to the store, said police.
