PRO TIP: If you’re going to attempt to manufacture an illegal substance, it might be best not to attempt to do so inside your local WalMart.
Police in Tulsa, Oklahoma arrested a woman last week for mixing chemicals to make meth inside a local WalMart on Thursday.
Elizabeth Alisha Greta Halfmoon, 45, also known to go by Alisha Halfmoon, was arrested after surveillance video showed she had been in the store for SIX HOURS and security noticed she was acting suspicious.
Responding officers say she said she was “too broke to buy the chemicals.”
“She didn’t have the money to make the purchases of the chemicals that were needed so she was taking what was needed in the bottle,” says Officer David Shelby.
“When I saw her she had just finished mixing sulfuric acid with starter fluid in a bottle,” he adds.
They immediately got her, and the ingredients, out of the store before any of the shoppers got hurt.
No one was evacuated.
“When firefighters were on the scene she made statements to them that is what she was doing, she was attempting to obtain these chemicals and was in the process of trying to manufacture meth. However, she said she was not very good at it,” says Shelby.
A responding officer was unaware that the bottle of ingredients was active. As he was throwing away the bottle, the chemicals burned through it and through his gloves.
He was treated for chemical burns on his hands and is okay.
Halfmoon’s bond has been set at $100,000 and her arraignment is set for December 16th.
