(Meredith) – A high school teacher allegedly walked out of a North Carolina Walmart with more than $200 worth of unpaid craft supplies stuffed inside her raincoat.
Joanna Frantz, 59, was charged with misdemeanor larceny following the incident on Saturday, the Johnson County News reported.
An employee at the store in Clayton called police to report a woman hiding merchandise underneath a coat that was inside a shopping cart, according to the newspaper.
Authorities said the woman had nearly $225 worth of unpaid merchandise in her possession when loss prevention workers stopped her on the way out the store. She cooperated with both store staff and police.
Frantz is an art teacher at Clayton High School and has worked there for six years, WTVD reported.
