Police believe the woman took brush-on nail glue, Broadway Fashion Diva Nails, Edge 24 Nails and other assorted cosmetics.
During the investigation, the report said, Bynum gave officers a fake name and a false North Carolina driverís license.
About a month later, Kannapolis Police officers obtained arrest warrants for Bynum after they said she broke into a Kannapolis manís storage building at 720 Deaton Ave.
The report said $1,095 worth of power saws, grinders and other tools were taken from the building.
Bynum was charged with felony breaking and entering, felony larceny, felony identity theft and misdemeanor shoplifting.
She was given an $11,000 bond and was in jail this morning.
