Omarova admitted to stealing $214 worth of items from T.J. Maxx in the police report
A police report from 1995 reveals new striking details about President Biden’s nominee to be comptroller of the currency’s “retail theft” arrest.
Fox News obtained the police report detailing the arrest of Saule Omarova, Biden’s pick to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
Omarova, who was 28 years old at the time, was arrested in 1995 for “retail theft” from a T.J. Maxx store in Madison, Wisconsin. The police report, filed by a T.J. Maxx security agent, says she stole $214 worth of merchandise before being caught.
The report says that she stole four pairs of shoes, two bottles of cologne, two belts and socks from the store when she was apprehended.
The T.J. Maxx security agent on duty told police that he saw Omarova take the items by placing them into a large purse and covering them with other clothing items to obscure the stolen items.
The security agent attested that Omarova paid for several items at the jewelry counter but “made no attempt to pay for the items concealed in her purse” and confronted her after she left the store with the stolen items.
