Woman Suspected of Stealing Bible

The alleged incident occurred around 1 p.m. Friday at the Barnes & Noble on Cobb Parkway.

Ashley Chacari Fleming loves the Bible.

But authorities said she must have missed that part in Exodus about stealing.

Armed with her new Bible, Fleming allegedly walked out of the Cobb Parkway Barnes & Noble last Friday afternoon without paying for it, according to a Cobb County criminal warrant.
