Why did a 15-year-old girl steal 44 pairs of underwear from a St. Paul store?

The teen reportedly posed a question of her own to a police officer: "Do you expect me to wear dirty underwear?"

She was cited for misdemeanor theft. It was the second panty raid at a St. Paul store that showed up in this week's police reports.

Police cited a 47-year-old man on June 10 for shoplifting "numerous pairs" of women's underwear from the Midway Walmart.

The case with the teen girl happened June 19 at the Maryland Avenue Kmart. She stashed the 44 pairs of women's underwear in a tote bag and walked out without paying, police said.

Thirty-one of the pairs were valued at $4.99 and 13 at $3.99, police said.
