A 47-years-old Jersey City man was arrested and charged Friday evening after he attempted to shoplift several bottles of vodka from Bayonne.

According to authorities, police responded to ShopRite Liquors on Avenue C Friday night, after a 55-year-old female employee confronted Leonard Priester, 47, after she reportedly saw him shoplifting three bottles of vodka.
