On 13 February 1985, a very pregnant Betsy Nelson of Arlington, Virginia, was detained on suspicion of shoplifting by Irving's Sport Shop, a sporting goods store in Seven Corners, Virginia. She had gone there to look for a rowing machine to help her get back in shape after the upcoming birth of her child, a joyous event not expected for another full month.

She didn't find what she wanted, so she left the store to browse in an adjacent mall. She was fetched back to Irving's by the store's assistant manager and a security guard. A cashier had told her supervisor that Nelson had stolen a basketball and put it under her dress.


and man did they get sued!

LOL how could you not tell the difference between a pregnant belly and a basketball under a dress? The shapes are totally different.... also, she would have been preggers when she walked in to the store, so the staff aren't very observant lol!
