GEORGIA, Vt. — A 32-year-old Georgia, Vt., woman has been cited on a retail theft charge after items were taken from the Georgia Market in Georgia, the Vermont State Police said.

Troopers from the state police's St. Albans barracks got a report of a retail theft at the store at about 7:32 p.m. Monday, according to the agency.

Police identified the woman involved as Courtney Alderman. Investigators said she left the store without paying for numerous items.

Alderman was later found and given a citation to appear in Franklin County Superior Court on Jan. 5, 2027, to answer a charge of retail theft, police said.

The state police did not say what was taken or what the items were worth. Alderman was not jailed, and no bail was set, according to the release.

The charge is an allegation. Alderman is presumed innocent unless and until she is proven guilty.
