In Alliance, Ohio, Katurah L. Petty reached a level of fame or infamy among officers by allegedly stealing computer software from a Walmart while in labor. The Labor Day specials were long expired, so she was taken to jail after a visit to the hospital. Accounts differs as to whether she actually gave birth or was feigning labor.
Arrested with Katurah was her sister Staniel A. Petty. Both were charged with theft and forgery.
The police later found scanned manufacturer tags that the sisters would allegedly put on stolen electronics. This report says Katurah Petty lacked being in labor while this article says she was in labor.
She was taken directly to a hospital for the birth before booking.

In this economy, nobody can afford Maternity leave.
Ah but labor not thee…
Perhaps a little “hard labor” is in order.
I did not know that shoplifting was permissible for pregnant women on Labor Day.
