Connecticut Style by Desiree Fontaine
The daily Connecticut Style show is the best thing, next to morning traffic, that Desiree Fontaine is known for. This show includes anything from money-saving suggestions to style and features. Affordable style tips are a huge feature of the show – but shoplifting isn’t so much a money-saving tip as a bad idea. The station Fontaine works for, WTNH, issued a statement saying that they’ll not be commenting on this "personal matter.”
Connecticut's laws around Sixth degree larceny
There are relatively minor punishments in Connecticut for the charge of sixth degree larceny that Desiree Fontaine has been charged with. Larceny, or taking an item of value without payment or permission, has six degrees in Connecticut. If a crime has $ 250 or less of value, sixth degree larceny is the crime charged. Desiree Fontaine could face up to three months in jail and fines of up to $ 500, as well as a class C misdemeanor on her public record. This kind of punishment for just one bottle of perfume raises questions of what Desiree Fontaine was doing shoplifting – was it out of need, want, or compulsion.
