SUMMERSIDE — A 37-year-old Summerside woman was sentenced to five days in jail for shoplifting.

Joanne Leslie Doucette pleaded guilty in Summerside provincial court recently to theft.

Crown attorney Jeff MacDonald read the facts into the record.

On Oct. 25, 2020, at 5 p.m., Doucette was at Source for Sports in Summerside. Video surveillance saw her take a pair of pants and a package of socks and leave without paying.
