The assistant head of school at Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory in Hollywood is facing a felony charge after police said she tried to shoplift from a Macy’s in Pembroke Pines.
According to arrest documents, 48-year-old Raiza Echemendia attempted to conceal 11 items of clothing and shoes, worth more than $876, inside her Coach bag. Police said she was caught as soon as she walked out the door.
Echemendia, who has since posted bond, is charged with grand theft. Her employment status with the Catholic school remains unclear.
