Shoplifting is no joke and no matter how small the item, the consequences can be more than they bargained for.

Case in point, a 23-year-old college student from New Mexico is scheduled to go to trial for allegedly stealing a small pumpkin worth only two dollars.

KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, N.M., reports that Lauren Medina will go before a jury and Moriarity Magistrate Judge Steve Jones on Tuesday. She is accused of taking the pumpkin in October 2011 from McCall’s Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty. 

“(Medina) said, ‘Oh my god, I’m so sorry. Can I pay for them?’ (They said), ‘Nope,’ and she was handcuffed immediately— end of story, no ifs or buts,” Her sister, Annette Atencio said.

Atencio, says Medina spent $75 on food that day but forgot to pay for the pumpkin she picked up as she was leaving.

Medina was given an order to appear, and when she did, Atencio said her sister thought the charges would be dropped— but that didn’t happen.

Atencio said that Medina was given the option to plead guilty and do probation, and when she refused, the case will now head to a jury trial.

“(Medina) is a college student, and she’s never been in trouble and never been arrested,” Atencio said.
