Yarber had been arrested Feb. 3 on charges of petit theft and possession of drug equipment after she allegedly had taken some clothes and sandals and concealed them in a Wal-Mart bag with some diapers and tried to leave the store through the garden section. When the deputy conducted a search of Yarber’s book bag, he discovered a hypodermic syringe and a broken teaspoon.
