(La Porte, IN) - A suspected shoplifter must have an affinity for pot roast, judging by the grocery items she allegedly took in La Porte.

Kathleen Manuel, 60, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Theft, upgraded to a Level 6 felony due to the Michigan City woman having a prior theft conviction.

According to court documents, on May 5th, Manuel failed to pay for most of the food items she had in her cart at Walmart. There, a loss prevention officer approached her and notified police, who were told by Manuel she was willing to pay for what she didn’t purchase.

After being placed into handcuffs, police said, Walmart refunded her for the few items she did pay for at the self-checkout. Among the stolen items were three pot roasts, two chuck roasts, and five packages of ground beef.
