Illinois Woman Accused of Hair Theft

(Oak Park, Illinois) A 22-year-old Chicago woman, Shantiara Mitchell, was arrested last week for allegedly stealing hair from the Okay Beauty Supply store.

A woman walked into the shop, 8 Lake Street, at 4:26 p.m. Tuesday and began looking at the hair, police reports said.

Oak Park Cmdr. LaDon Reynolds said the woman grabbed two $10 packages of Afrocity-brand hair weaves and put them in her purse.

The store owner confronted her and she resisted, causing a laceration to the store owner’s face.

Mitchell was booked into custody by Oak Park Police on charges of theft and battery.
