Phyllis Arkin Dodges Felony Shoplifting Charges
Feb. 26 2009, Published 4:24 a.m. ET
Phyllis Arkin has dodged a huge bullet. She had been facing felony grand theft charges stemming from her arrest on shoplifting charges.
As RadarOnline.com was first to report earlier this month, Phyllis, wife of television actor Adam Arkin, allegedly stole a set of earrings from a swanky boutique in Montecito California on February 6th.
The Santa Barbara District Attorney's office exclusively tells RadarOnline.com that the charges have been reduced to misdemeanor grand theft .
