BOARDMAN

A woman accused of shoplifting Thursday from JCPenney in the Southern Park Mall on Market Street was arrested on a robbery charge when police found she was carrying a gun, according to police reports. Jessica Frenzel, 22, of Canfield, tried to leave the store about 2 p.m. with more than $500 worth of merchandise, reports read. Frenzel was arrested on charges of robbery, since she committed a theft offense while in possession of a deadly weapon, police said. She is scheduled to appear in county area court Tuesday.
