Woman Cited Three Times in One Day for Panhandling at Redner's, Police Say

A Collegeville woman had multiple run-ins with police on March 29 at the Pottstown Redner's, leading to multiple citations for disorderly conduct.

According to a police report, Julia Fitzhenry was trying to solicit money for cigarettes outside the Redner's Warehouse Market in Pottstown. Management called police, and Fitzhenry was told that soliciting was illegal in the borough. 

She asked a police officer for money, and when the officer refused, Fitzhenry reportedly said she "could not believe how mean he was," and complained that someone who "is working and making so much" should be able to give her money.

Police were called a second time when Fitzhenry returned to the store and allegedly caused a disturbance by confronting the manager. The report states that she began to berate the store's manager in front of his employees and customers, stating that the manager was "so mean because (he) doesn't have sex and needs to get laid," adding that he had "a small [expletive]."
