IN JULY 1980, MCALPIN WAS ARRESTED IN ABILENE, TEXAS, IN SKAGGS ALBERTSONS ON A MISDEMEANOR SHOPLIFTING CHARGE OF $20.00 OR LESS. SHE PLEADED GUILTY AND PAID A $60 FINE. I WAS ACCOMPANYING A FRIEND WHO DECIDED TO TAKE A PACKAGE OF DIET PILLS, AND WANTED TO PLACE THEM IN MY LARGE BEACH TYPE BAG. USING POOR JUDGMENT, I ALLOWED HER TO PLACE THE PILLS IN MY BAG AS SHE INSISTED HER OWN BAG WAS TOO SMALL. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE WERE ARRESTED, AND I WAS CHARGED WITH SHOPLIFTING AS THE DIET PILLS WERE IN MY BAG."
