Thou shall not steal … a Bible?

It’s one of the Ten Commandments, but one Cobb County woman may not have realized that.

Thou shall not steal. But the 23-year-old allegedly did.

Ashley Chacori Fleming, of Powder Springs, was caught stealing a Bible from a book store, according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Fleming was arrested Friday afternoon at the Barnes & Noble near Cumberland Mall and charged with misdemeanor shoplifting, Cobb County jail records show.

“Said accused did exit the store with the merchandise, passing all pay counters,” Fleming’s arrest warrant states.

Fleming was arrested by sheriff’s deputies and booked into jail around 3:30 p.m. Friday. She was released early Saturday after posting $1,000 bond.
