Two women arrested for shoe theft, one charged with prostitution

POCATELLO — Two women were arrested in Pocatello for theft on Monday, Jan 25. One of the woman also was charged with prostitution.

Pocatello Police spokeswoman Dianne Bush told EastIdahoNews.com that officers responded to Big 5 on the 200 block of Burnside late Monday night to a reported theft. Police arrived at the retail store just prior to 11 p.m. During the investigation police were able to view video surveillance footage and confirm the theft.

The two females, who were later identified as Cynthia Reichow, 30, and Chloe Schultz, 25, of Ogden, Utah were seen leaving the store with unpaid shoes.

While reviewing video footage, police noticed that one of the suspects mistakenly dropped an item.

Police were able to locate the dropped item and determine it had identifying information on it relating to a recently purchased cell phone. That information led police to an advertisement on a local adult services website, where sexual services were being advertised. Police were then able to connect the suspects to a motel in Chubbuck where the two suspects were found and arrested.

Both women were charged with felony burglary, and officers also cited Reichow with misdemeanor prostitution.
