The loss prevention team of the store had Bowman detained in the security office when deputies arrived.

The loss prevention associate told deputies he had been monitoring the store when he began watching Bowman walk through the men’s department. He said he saw her take the Giants shirt and put it in her purse.

He said he observed Bowman and her daughter go into the bathroom, and then came out and began walking towards the exit of the store. The bathroom was checked for the Giants shirt, which was not present.
