This has to be embarrassing.
A mother who is pregnant with twins has told of her outrage after being accused of shoplifting at a North Carolina Staples where she had to lift up her shirt and reveal her bare bump to satisfy suspicious staff and cops.
Sherell Bates was stocking up on back-to-school goods for her other children in the Staples in Pineville, North Carolina, on Friday when she was approached by a cop who was already at the store at the cash register.
She was paying for her items when he asked her what was under her shirt.
Bates thought it was a joke at first and replied ‘twins’ but the officer was not amused.
