| Geeker spreaded COVID-19 while shoplifting. |
She tried to geek out of a Cincinnati Kroger on Tuesday.
The woman used a fake name when confronted by the Sharonville Police.
According to a criminal complaint, the suspect took $1,280 in groceries.
She "did knowingly expose Kroger employees and present members of the general public to COVID-19 after knowingly having a positive COVID-19 test results, commit a theft offense at Kroger," police wrote in her criminal complaint.
The suspect had crack cocaine and another substance, a crushed white powder, according to court records.
A spokesman for the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said she is at the lockup but is being isolated and will be for 14 days to ensure no one is exposed. She also will be monitored, David Daugherty said.
The suspect told police her first name was Lauren, so that’s how it's listed on court paperwork, according to Hamilton County Municipal Court. But once she arrived at the jail, they said they confirmed her real first name was Stephanie.
"Stephanie Incarnato aka Lauren Incarnato is currently in custody at the Hamilton County Justice Center. Based upon her own statements, as detailed in the arrest documents, she is suspected of having COVID-19," wrote David Daugherty, a spokesman for the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, in an email.
"She is currently isolated from other inmates for 14 days and will be monitored by the medical staff. At this time, we have zero inmates that are confirmed with COVID-19. Her mugshot will not be available for a few weeks."

| America's largest grocer had to take active measures to ensure safety for its shoppers and workers. |
They said they were checking with healthcare providers in Montgomery County, where she's from, to try to confirm.
Here's a map.
There are over 750,000 confirm cases of the coronavirus in the United States. There are over 25,000 Americans who have died from the coronavirus. Every state has reported a death and its rising fast.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Brix have predicted that there could be over 100,000 to 4 million Americans killed by the coronavirus. Globally, there are over 1.5 million people infected by the coronavirus.
With the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are being ordered to stay at home if they're sick and those who are able to work are doing under tight restrictions. Many companies had to lay off millions because of the spread of the coronavirus.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.
1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this.
