Barthelemy's friend, Shaquasia Gailyard, 21, from Prospect Park South, Brooklyn was in the car when police searched it and uncovered items that might have been purchased at two or three other Stamford stores on the same day, reports the Stamford Advocate.

Both Barthelemy and Gailyard were charged with first-degree forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, sixth-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit sixth-degree larceny and were held in lieu of $75,000 court-appearance bonds, reports the Stamford Advocate.
