A 40-year-old Bridgeport, Connecticut, woman was charged Tuesday with stealing a woman's lottery ticket winnings at Shaw's Supermarket in Fairfield, police said.

Ronice Turner, of Han Avenue, is charged with fifth-degree larceny in the October incident.

She turned herself in at headquarters after learning there was a warrant for her arrest, police said. She was released on a promise to appear Tuesday in Bridgeport Superior Court.

The victim left her purse at Shaw's on Oct. 23, and Turner, a former employee there, stole $291 and additional lottery tickets valued at $42.50 from the purse before turning it in to the lost-and-found department, police said. The $291 was the balance of $333.50 in lottery winnings, police said.

Ah, Bridgeport.  The Bronx of Connecticut.

Nice of Ronice to turn herself in.  Was she a former employee at Shaw's at the time she stole the money...or is the "former" a result of this theft?

Yeah but she only turned herself in because she had a warrent out for her arrest.
