Denise Davis, Mugshot of the Day: Saddest Shoplifter Ever

Richard Connelly May 8, 2012 4:00PM

Today's entrant in the Mugshot of the Year award bespeaks sadness, gloom, the bleak emptiness that comes when you realize you're getting jail time for allegedly shoplifting at a Harlingen Beall's.

Not that Denise Davis, 38, didn't have high-toned tastes: She's accused of lifting two $77 bottles of Armani fragrance.

Police say she grabbed the items, ran out the door and got away in a black Pontiac.

Her luck didn't hold, though. About an hour later, cops got a call for suspicious activity involving a black Pontiac. They arrested Davis, but the perfume was nowhere to be found.
