Police said a woman banned from the Walmart in Lookout Valley was back "trying to steal $588 in clothes."

The woman first said she was Devon Draughter.

While in the patrol car on the way to jail, she admitted she was Derisha Draughter.

She said she was reluctant to say because she has two active warrants for theft.

Ms. Draughter, 20, was charged with felony theft, criminal impersonation and criminal trespass.

He opened his front door and saw a tall white male with long curly hair.

Channel 3 management said a man called and said he would kill an employee of the TV station if a certain story was aired.

The person who got the call wrote the number down. Police called the number and the man who answered denied that he had called the station or threatened anyone.

A female employee said she had seen some suspicious activity in the parking lot earlier that day.
