A Bloomfield woman is accused of walking out of a store in Linton without paying for several items.

Elizabeth Ann Fields, 39, Bloomfield, was arrested by Officer Cayden Walker of the Linton Police Department last Thursday, October 1.

Officer Walker, the investigating officer, and LPD Officer Bobby Pierce were dispatched to the Walmart store in Linton around 5 p.m. last Thursday after store personnel apprehended a woman suspected of shoplifting.

Elizabeth Fields was detained and waiting in an office at the store when the officers arrived. A store asset protection associate said Fields had taken a doorbell camera and some other items without paying for them.

The store associate told the officers that an employee had kept her under surveillance and was watching when she removed a keychain from the packaging and put the keychain in her purse then discarded the packaging on a shelf.

Fields allegedly then failed to scan multiple items when she went through a self-check-out lane, but she put them into a shopping bag. She was stopped in the vestibule area as she was exiting the store.

Fields allegedly said she did not have the money to pay for the items and said she was sorry.

The total value of the items taken was $47.33, and included a drain pan, a tool, a doorbell, a cable ring, a hide-a-key and a multitool.

Fields was transported and booked into the Greene County Jail at 6:05 p.m. Her bond was set at $1,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed. She posted $100 and was released later the same day.

She is scheduled to appear in Greene Superior Court on October 18 for an initial hearing on a charge of theft, a Class A misdemeanor.

Fields has another criminal case pending against her in Greene County involving possession of methamphetamine, a Level 6 felony, and possession of paraphernalia, a Class C misdemeanor.
