A black female was reported to have left the store without paying. Sanders later located the suspect, Kalimah Shaheed, who was a passenger in a vehicle. Some canned meat identified by the store manager was found in Shaheed's possession. She was booked at the police station and given a court date of January 18. The report indicated Shaheed was not transported to the Oucahita County detention center because she was elderly and required the use of a walker. She was released on her own recognizance.
