A woman told police that she was robbed by two women outside the CVS drugstore in the 4200 block of Woodbourne Road in Bristol Township in early May, court documents state.
According to police, the woman said after she picked up her Adderall prescription and saw the two woman – one of whom she knew – outside in an SUV. While in conversation with the two woman, Shupe asked questions about her prescription and the woman pulled out the medicine bottle, which Shupe swiped and the SUV drove off, police said.
When police showed a photo of Shupe in a lineup, the woman worried it was a different person because her hair color was not the same as she remembered it, according to court documents. The woman took out her cell phone and pulled up a photo of Shupe via Facebook and confirmed the identity of the woman who took her pills in the drugstore parking lot, police said.
