A Leesburg woman who was arrested for shoplifting $135 in merchandise also received narcotic-related charges at Walmart.
A loss prevention associate of Walmart, located at 2501 Citrus Blvd., noticed 40-year-old Michelle Lou Flanagan going through the tools and and stationary departments around 9:20 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26, according to an arrest report from the Leesburg Police Department.

Flanagan stole a total of $135.61 in merchandise, including markers, jewelry, cards, candy and clothes. She later told law enforcement that she did something stupid and admitted to stealing, the report said…
