CAPE CORAL, Fla. (April 16) - A woman arrested for shoplifting has blamed the crime on irritable bowel syndrome, authorities said. Helen Gallo, 61, of Clearwater, was arrested Sunday after allegedly shoplifting from a Cape Coral grocery store, The Daily Breeze of Cape Coral reported.

 

Gallo reportedly told authorities that she could not wait in line because she has irritable bowel syndrome, according to the newspaper.

 

Gallo was charged with petit larceny and released Sunday from the Lee County jail on $500 bond.

 

Gallo did not answer a telephone call placed to her home by The Associated Press. It was not known if she had an attorney.
