The Portland Press Herald reports security personnel saw Atwell browsing through a Damariscotta store March 28. The security officers say she removed the blouse from a hanger, rolled it up and placed it in a bag she was carrying.
Atwell says it was a misunderstanding. She says she had returned another item and took the blouse in exchange. She's scheduled in court next month on a misdemeanour theft charge.
