A woman was arrested Monday morning at a Naples Macy’s department store after giving police a fake name.

A store manager at the Macy’s in Coastland Center found Guinnevere Wolfe, 43, in the women’s restroom while opening the store.

Wolfe told officers she thought leaving the bathroom would trip an alarm. Ultimately, she was arrested for lying to the officers by giving a fake name.

“It’s rare to have store management call us at about seven in the morning because someone had spent the night in the store,” Naples PD Lieutenant Bryan McGinn said.

Some shoppers, like Marian Rueda, were shocked. “I mean it’s crazy like how things are the fact that she had to spend the night at the mall, you know like I wonder what the circumstances must’ve been for her to be able to make that choice,” Rueda said.

Naples Police said when asked to identify herself, Wolfe gave a fake name, and birthdate, and handed police an I.D. that wasn’t hers.

Wolfe faces charges of lying to police and false identification. Inside her purse officers found car keys and located that car at the mall. It’s been towed and is part of an ongoing investigation.
