An 86-year-old international jewel thief who previously faced charges in San Diego has struck again while wearing an ankle bracelet from a previous bust.
Police said Doris Payne was arrested Monday for allegedly shoplifting at a Walmart in Atlanta.
"Thieving was the farthest thing from my mind," she told NBC News in a phone interview Tuesday.
Her career as an international bling bandit spans six decades. Payne said she took some medicine that confused her before she went shopping.
