A St. Louis woman was charged with possession of a controlled substance and two misdemeanor offenses following an incident that occurred April 19.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed by the Warrenton Police Department, officers were dispatched to 499 Veterans Memorial Parkway for a reported theft.

Upon reviewing video footage, Robin Harris, 43, St. Louis, was observed removing the victim’s purse from the cart and placing it in her own shopping cart.
According to the affidavit, Harris was later located at 623 E.
