>>Student tossed in slammer for salad heist

>>It's not very often a $6.95 salad from Houston Market is unforgettable.
>>
>>Yet College freshman Melanie Foreman is unlikely to forget the garden salad
>>with feta cheese and ranch dressing she picked up on Tuesday.
>>
>>When the 19-year-old walked out of Houston Hall without paying Tuesday
>>afternoon, Philadelphia Police were waiting with handcuffs. Foreman was
>>arrested and charged with retail theft, a misdemeanor.
>>
>>The student was taken to the police station at 40th and Market streets,
>>where she said she spent an hour crying in a cold cell without her
>>sweatshirt or jacket, which police had taken away from her.
>>
>>While admitting that she was culpable, Foreman thinks that the police
>>response was excessive. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have done it, but if
>>they'd [just] told me not to do it again I sure as hell wouldn't have," she
>>said.
>>
>>For her indiscretion, she earned a court date in Center City early yesterday
>>morning -- scheduled for approximately the same time as one of her midterms.
>>The judge was late, she said, so the court officers on duty told her to head
>>to class and return later in the day.
>>
>>But that wasn't the end of this episode.
>>
>>She returned to find a judge's arrest warrant in her name and has to go back
>>again this morning to sort things out.
>>
>>The moral of this tale for any student who attempts to lift food from the
>>wide-open Houston aisles: She never even got a chance to eat the salad. So
>>much for lunch on the run.
