San Francisco, Apr 28:The actress who plays the wise-cracking maid on the television comedy "Will & Grace" has been arrested on suspicion of felony shoplifting from a Los Angeles department store, police said on Saturday. Shelley Morrison, 66, was booked under the name Rachel Dominguez earlier this week and released after posting $20,000 bail, said Los Angeles police Officer Don Cox. An arraignment is scheduled for May 14.
"She was arrested by loss prevention agents," Cox said. "We are merely facilitating the booking process."
The alleged theft at Robinsons-May department store on Wednesday qualifies as a felony because the items cost more than $400, police said.
Morrison, who was born in the Bronx and is married to writer Walter Dominguez, has appeared in dozens of movies and television shows during her four decades in show business.
Her credits include playing a nun opposite Sally Field in the 1960s hit show "The Flying Nun" as well as roles on the soap opera "General Hospital" and the 1997 film "Fools Rush In."
