News from all over - Milwaukee

A 24-year-old Burlington woman arrested for stealing $250 worth of groceries told police she stole them because she was tired.

The woman walked into Sentry Foods, 156 S. Pine St. in Burlington, on July 21 and filled her cart and two grocery bags with cookies, dog food, bubble bath, shampoo and soda among other things. Then she walked right out without paying. When police caught up with her she blamed her sticky fingers on her medication, which she said made her feel lethargic and gave her the feeling that she couldn't be caught.

Police gave her a dose of reality and arrested her on charges of theft.
