From the SF Chronicle:
Looks like the attorney for Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi, D-Castro Valley, has been burning up the phones since her arrest last week for allegedly shoplifting at San Francisco’s Neiman Marcus store.
We’re told that attorney Douglas Rappaport called Neiman’s corporate headquarters in Texas to inquire just how serious the high-end retailer was about pursuing the grand theft charges against his client for allegedly stealing leather pants, a black skirt and white blouse that totaled $2,450.
The response: The company will do whatever the San Francisco district attorney’s office thinks is appropriate.
To which D.A.’s spokesman Omid Talai told us: “This is rightfully charged as a felony.”
Rappaport declined to comment.
