Hold up wait… that ain’t no dayum RUDY HUXTABLE! Or is it?

Meet 32-year old Leah Efay Davis, Davis posed for the mugshot above after being arrested for shoplifting in Provo, Utah.

Here’s the hook… Davis, a habitual shoplifter, attempted to avoid her arrest by telling authorities that she once starred on ?The Cosby Show? as Rudy Huxtable!

Where dey do that at? 😯

Full story + more Davis mugshots (and YES they are just as lovely as the one above)…Authorities say Davis was in a J.C. Penney store where she was spotted placing several items into a bag and walking out of the store without paying.

Security stopped her and discovered about $600 worth of stolen goods in her bag.

Apparently in an effort to get preferential treatment, Davis told officers she played the role of Rudy Huxtable, the youngest daughter on the 1980s family sitcom, but we all know that was actress Keisha Knight Pulliam (who happens to look NOTHING like Davis).

Unfortunately for Davis, the pulling the celeb card did NOT work!

Davis was subsequently arrested and charged withclass B misdemeanor criminal trespass.

Because of her prior shoplifting convictions, she was also charged with an enhanced third-degree felony count of retail theft.

Davis is being held at the Utah County jail in lieu of $5,000 cash-or-bond bail.

Would you mistake Davis for Pulliam in a lineup?

I don’t see the resemblance….
