A Marion County sheriff’s deputy on Monday responded to the Walmart in Summerfield after being summoned by the store’s loss prevention officer. The deputy found 31-year-old Alexandra Law not far from the store after she fled through an emergency exit with stolen merchandise including clothing, hygiene products, a wallet and phone holder. The total value of the merchandise was $182.54.

Law has five previous theft convictions. She had been arrested in 2015 in Sumter County after a K-9 alerted on a vehicle in which she had been traveling.
