A former beauty queen, winner of the Mrs. America pageant, was convicted of theft after changing price tags on clothing from Macy's department store in Southdale, Minnesota.

The People note notes that the jury in the case found Jennifer Susan Kline guilty of a theft-for-fraud offense Tuesday after a seven-day trial. In addition, the jury found that the robbery was more than a foolish mistake. However, she said it was Macy's fault for having an overly easy parts return policy.

The 51-year-old former beauty queen, who held the title of Mrs. America in 1989, could face up to five years in prison when she is sentenced on October 18, the same note notes.

The purchases that Kline made in said Macy's store were at the beginning of November 2015. In the first purchase, the clothes -from designer, by the way- had a value of $ 2,884 and, the next day he returned to the store to acquire $ 2,907 in commodity.

However, in the middle and end of the month (November 11 and 30), Kline removed the labels from the acquired clothing to put it on another that she already had in her possession. Then, she returned the pieces at the Macy's Mall of America and earned a total of $ 5,501. People explains that after a store detective was alerted to the return and proceeded to examine the clothing, he realized that the labels had allegedly been changed. This follows from a criminal complaint that was made in 2016.
