Stephanie Moreland was arrested New Year’s Eve by Bloomington Police after the Alaskan Fur Company reported a short mink coat was stolen by a woman who had been in the store and acting suspiciously.
Moreland pleaded guilty to one count of felony theft of property. Police say she hid the mink coat in her underwear for three days while being questioned by police in jail.
The coat was valued at $6,500.
According to police, a sales associate accused Moreland of taking the coat, but she denied it and took off. The sales associate took down Moreland’s license plate number and called police. When police located the car a short time later, they found the coat’s hanger but no coat.
They searched Moreland for weapons and booked her into jail for the weekend on possible theft charges. Three days later, a detective interviewed Moreland who admitted she stole the coat but claimed she had already sold it.
When the investigator informed Moreland he would be sending her to the Hennepin County Jail downtown, he was shocked when she lifted up her dress and pulled out the mink coat from her underwear.
“She had modified her underwear. She actually cut the rear of the underwear out so that from the back it appeared she was not wearing underwear and then stuffed it down the front,” said Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik, at the time of the incident.
First of all, by now, you know that whenever I get the chance for a random Chappelle Show clip/reference, I'm going to put it in there. Second of all, this is one of many reasons why I could never be a cop. I mean, if you go into this interrogation room, you know and she knows that there's a fur coat in her underwear. However, I'll be damned if I'm fishing around in her drawers for $6,500 is straight cash, never mind a mink.

PS: Anyone heard about Chappelle bringing a show to web tv? He denies it, but I would pay to have that back on; one iof the best shows of all time.
