A Louisiana school board member has been accused of shoplifting at a Northshore Walmart.
53-year-old Sharon Lo Drucker was issued a summons to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge of theft under $1,000, according to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office.
The St. Tammany Parish school board member pled not guilty at a Wednesday arraignment.
STPSO spokesman Capt. Scott Lee says a deputy had been notified that Walmart workers had a shoplifter detained in the loss prevention office.
Drucker was issued a summons in lieu of arrest.
School Board President Robin Mullett said in a statement that the school board has no authority to take any action on this matter because Drucker hasn't been convicted of a crime and is an elected official.
Parents are urging Drucker to resign.
