Houston police found a confused West Plains woman waiting for a ride Sunday in the Houston Wal-Mart parking lot.
Officers cited Crystal T.L. Orr, 29, of West Plains with trespassing and shoplifting after spotting her. Police said they found the suspect dazed after “huffing” cans of dust remover that had been taken from the store.
Among the items missing were an MP3 player, perfume, socks and headphones worth about $165.
Police said Orr, who told lawmen she was waiting for Waylon Jennings to pick her up, had been caught shoplifting three times in the last 30 days at West Plains Wal-Mart.
