A Bexar County Sheriff's Office sergeant is one of two women accused of shoplifting nearly $200 worth of clothing and jewelry from Macy's in South Park Mall on Tuesday evening, officials said.
San Antonio police arrested Sgt. Laura Delgado, 31, and Lori Marsden, 36, about 6 p.m. on one count each of theft from $50 to $500. They were held on $1,000 bail, with Delgado released after posting it early Wednesday.
An 11-year veteran most recently assigned to the detention unit, Delgado was placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Deputy Ino Badillo. Delgado was off duty Tuesday night, he said.
A police report says the women were seen going into dressing rooms with merchandise that was not in sight when they emerged. When a security guard detained them, Delgado tried to escape and was aggressive, the report says.
The women continued to be argumentative in the store's loss-prevention office, where police found two shirts, a pair of jeans, a watch, two pairs of earrings and a bracelet in their purses, the police report says.
Delgado told police she works for the Sheriff's Office and her duty weapon was in her personal car in the mall parking lot. A deputy picked up the gun.

Corrections Officer Tonya Henderson Arrested for Stealing from Target
A state corrections officer clad in her uniform and with her 6-year-old son in tow allegedly stole items worth about $2,800 from a Target store in Victorville.
Tonya Henderson, 40, of Adelanto left the store on Palmdale Road about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday without paying for a big-screen television, steam cleaner and Xbox 360 video-game console, San Bernardino County sheriff's officials said.
Henderson works at the California Institution for Men in Chino. The state Department of Corrections on Wednesday placed Henderson on paid leave. Department officials are investigating the incident.
"We don't know how long (the investigation) could last," said Terry Thornton, spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections.
A loss-prevention officer at the Target noticed Henderson loading the items into her vehicle and informed the Sheriff's Department. Deputies tracked Henderson's license-plate number to her home. She was arrested on suspicion of commercial burglary.
"If someone is found guilty of a felony, that would disqualify them from a peace officer position," Thornton said.
Henderson was released on bail Wednesday morning from West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
Henderson was hired July 1, 2002, by the Department of Corrections.
She has worked full time as a relief corrections officer and has filled in for officers on vacation or furlough, Thornton said.
