Walmart Meth

Tulsa police arrested a 45-year-old woman they said mixed chemicals together to make methamphetamine inside a Walmart store. “She didn’t have the money to make the purchases of the chemicals that were needed so she was taking what was needed in the bottle,” Tulsa Police Officer David Shelby said. Police said Elizabeth Alisha Greta Halfmoon had been in the store since noon on Thursday, taking chemicals from bottles and mixing them in order to make meth. She had been in the store for six hours, according to police. Security officials called police once they spotted Halfmoon acting suspiciously. Shelby said it was the first time he had seen anyone actually attempt to mix and make the drug in a store. When firefighters arrived at the scene Halfmoon told them she was in the process of trying to manufacture meth. However, she said she was “not very good at it.” One police officer received minor injuries when the chemicals in the bottle burned his hand. Nobody else was injured.
