DEKALB COUNTY, Ala. (WAAY) - A woman is facing theft charges after authorities said she rode a horse to a store while intoxicated and tried to shoplift items from the store.
Christine Saunders, 45, of Fyffe, was charged with public intoxication and possession of a prohibited beverage. DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris said she will likely face more charges.
Harris said deputies and Fyffe police were called to a store at Hammonds Crossroads Saturday, where he said Saunders was being held with items she allegedly took from the store.
Harris said Saunders had a horse tied up outside the store, with three cans of Keystone Light beer tied to the saddle horn in a Walmart bag.
Harris said Saunders did not own the horse, which was returned to its owner. Harris said the owner declined to press charges.
