(Michigan City, IN) - Trying to not to get caught shoplifting turned out to be the least of her problems.

 

Amber Saylor, 33, of Michigan City wound up allegedly being found with fentanyl inside Walmart.

 

According to court documents, a loss prevention officer at the store in Michigan City observed Saylor place several items into her purse.  At one point, Saylor, fearing she would be caught, placed her purse on a store shelf.

 

She was walking away from her purse when she was stopped by a security officer, who then called the police.

 

Several skin care products were found in her purse, along with a small amount of fentanyl and a broken glass smoking pipe containing burnt residue.

This wasn't her first brush with the law, though. Earlier this year, Saylor was charged after her son tested positive for drugs such as methamphetamine and marijuana. It was alleged the boy tested positive from exposure to the drugs smoked by his parents inside their home.

 

The Level 6 Felony Neglect of a Dependent Charge filed in that case has not been decided yet in court.
