A Jasper woman was arrested and charged with felony shoplifting after Acworth police said she tried to walk out of a Kennesaw Walmart with over 100 pairs of underwear concealed in various bags.

Loss prevention staff at the Cobb Parkway store noticed the woman purchase four undergarments and place several other items in a shopping bag without purchasing them on the evening of June 8, Acworth police spokeswoman Youlanda D. Leverette said. The loss prevention officers stopped the woman, who claimed she was waiting for someone to bring her the money she needed to pay for the items.

As it turns out, whoever was supposed to be coming for 22-year-old Julia Jones was going to need $750 to pay for the 131 pairs of underwear found in Jones’ purse, shopping bag, and handbag, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Cobb County jail records show that Jones posted a $5,000 bond and was released on June 9.
