I was detained for an alleged theft by plain clothes security in a grocery store. It was 8:55pm. I frantically told them I had a 16 yo son stuck in another town with no ride and that he needed my help as it was cold and dark. I was told that if I signed a confession admitting guilt I would be let go. I was also told that if I helped restock/organize the shelves, he would help me by not calling the police. I refused as I had recently suffered a dislocated shoulder. I was also hesitant to get on my hands and knees as he instructed me to do to reach the lower shelves. Instead I stood there shaking while a dismayed clerk stocked (he’d been told to keep an eye on me). At no point was there even one other woman present. When finally allowed to make a call about my son security told me that I could not tell them where I was or what was happening AT ALL. If I did I would go straight to jail. I called home from a blocked ID and on speakerphone. I was arrested at 1130pm and finally called home.
