POTSDAM — An Ogdensburg woman was charged after allegedly injuring a Price Chopper employee who attempted to stop her from shoplifting Jan. 5, according to village police.

Billie Jo Planty, 44, was charged with second-degree harassment and petit larceny at 3:10 a.m. last Friday, officers said.

Planty allegedly left the store with a cart full of groceries without paying for them.

A store employee attempted to grab the cart from her in the parking lot and Planty grabbed his hand and bent his finger back, causing minor injury, police said.

Planty reportedly fled the scene before police arrived.

She was picked up by other law enforcement and turned over to Potsdam police and charged, officers said.
