Safeway
is dropping charges against a Honolulu couple whose arrest for stealing
sandwiches led to their 2-year-old daughter being taken into state
custody and sparked nationwide outrage. A Safeway spokeswoman said the
company notified the Honolulu police yesterday that it won’t press
charges against Marcin and Nicole Leszczynski. They were arrested last
week when Nicole, who is 30 weeks pregnant, ate a sandwich while
shopping because she felt faint, became distracted and forgot to pay for
it. Their daughter Zofia was taken away by the state and returned to
her parents 18 hours later. A Safeway division president has called
Nicole to apologize for what she went through.
