A female transient was jailed following an alleged theft and for a warrant, by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Monday afternoon.

A DCSO report said at 4:45 p.m. the 45-year old allegedly stole two grocery bags of merchandise from a store in the 100 block of Tannhauser Avenue in Green. She reportedly walked to a nearby fast food outlet and placed the merchandise in backpacks, which were supplied to her. The suspect was located walking on Landers Avenue and was taken into custody without incident.

The transient admitted she stashed the grocery bags at an earlier time, then shopped with them to make the situation appear more legitimate.

She was charged with third-degree theft and for the warrant.
