In Fridley, Minn. a woman accused of putting fake charity donation boxes around the Twin Cities got arrested again for the same crime shortly after being released from jail.
The woman was released on Wednesday after being arrested in Eagan, where liquor store employees had discovered The Salvation Army had not received donations from the boxes in the store.
The woman decided to ply her trade again, this time in Fridley, just hours after her release by trying to replace an old donation box in a liquor store. However, the clerk recognized her from the news and called the police.
Officers arrested the woman and her 18-year-old son. A local TV station reported that police found 20 donation boxes in her car — some with money still in them.
Hmmm, maybe she was trying to spend some quality time with her kid. As far as repeating her crime so soon after her release, maybe she was attempting to hone her craft. Okay, fine, it wasn't that.
