Mom Uses Daughter to Shoplift

Moore, OK - Oh the things we impart on our children... Do unto others, sharing, and of course the art of the heist.

According to court records, Mother of the year Dedra Elece Frost, 34, of Midwest City, was arrested after a family shopping trip at a Kohl's department store left Frost her with a shiny new set of bracelets and a free ride to the Cleveland County jail.

Allegedly, Frost entered the Kohl's on South Telephone Rd. in Moore with her daughter (records only describe her as the minor daughter of Frost). Mom and daughter each began pushing a shopping cart.

The loss prevention specialist stated that both mother and daughter entered a dressing room together. Frost's cart was described as being full of merchandise while her daughter's contained only a large empty bag.

When Frost and her daughter exited the dressing room, the mother's cart only contained "tag's from merchandise" while the daughters cart now contained a large bag that appeared to be full.

Security went on to state that the daughter pushed the cart full of unpaid merchandise out of the story as Frost walked along side.

Security then detained the two and called police.

The merchandise in the cart was valued at $785.

Frost has been charged with felony larceny and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
