The 25-year-old actress, who also has a background in the adult film industry, was charged in connection with a December 27 incident that took place at the downtown Lancaster retail complex Building Character, according to court docs, LancasterOnline.com reported.

According to a criminal complaint, an employee at the retailer showed authorities surveillance footage showing Cherry, whose real name is Elise Jones, taking a Moda International blouse into a fitting room, and the blouse was not recovered from the dressing room afterwards.

Police said that the employee informed them that Cherry had used a credit card to pay for separate garments, according to court docs, and that Cherry told officers she had taken the item and gave it back to them.

The owner of Building Character Marty Hulse told the outlet that the blouse had been taken from the retailer Jenny & the Clowder, which is upstairs from most of the vendors.

Hulse told the outlet that the retailer that many time shoplifters are caught by the evidence they leave behind.

‘Most times, when we find people who are shoplifting, we don’t find them in the act,’ Hulse told the outlet. ‘They’ll take the tag off of it and throw it somewhere. Then we see the tag, and we can find them on the camera and where it came from, and that’s exactly what happened.

‘I know it sound piddly, but when it comes down to it, we’re all small businesses – you’re stealing from your neighbors.’

The complex’s general manager Joel Henry told the outlet that with a surveillance system that was updated in recent years, around one or two shoplifters have been caught each month.

Hulse and Henry told the outlet that they were not aware that Cherry was an actress on an HBO show until her mother told police about it.

Authorities said that Cherry has a prior retail theft conviction on her record dating back to April of 2015, the outlet reported.

A rep for Cherry, who plays the role of Faye on the popular HBO series, told TMZ that ‘in December, there was confusion over a blouse that wasn’t properly charged to my client’s credit card.

‘In no way did she “admit” to taking the blouse, since that was not the case. This story seems to be more about a local store trading on a celebrity’s name more than anything else.’

Cherry is slated to appear in court in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a preliminary hearing in the case March 1.
