While wearing and being able to afford makeup is definitely a luxury, it’s certainly not viewed as an absolute necessity. A woman who needed her makeup fix was caught stealing press-on nails, glue and eyeliner from a Dollar General that cost less than $10 in total.
Haley Nicole Nichols was caught on camera by Dollar General employees when they spotted her shoplifting press-on nails and makeup. Police in Chattooga County, Georgia, were called to the Summerville location after employees spotted Nichols skip-scanning several items at a self-checkout.
Skip-scanning is the term used when a customer deliberately does not scan an item and puts it in their bag while checking out. According to the authorities, Nichols tried shoplifting press-on nails, nail glue, and eyeliner that were valued at a total of $8.75.
The responding officer said Nichols was seen on the video giving money to a man that he was familiar with so the officer went to the man’s home. There, he was taken to Nichols, where the stolen items were recovered.
“Haley did offer to go back to the store and pay for the items,” the officer said. Nichols was taken to the Chattooga County Jail and charged with shoplifting $500 or less. She was also given a trespass warning for all the Dollar General stores in Chattooga County.
