Doris Payne, a notorious jewel thief with a documentary to prove it, has struck yet again, according to police.
Payne was arrested Tuesday at a Von Maur department store in Atlanta. Payne, according to the police report, put a $2,000 necklace in her back pocket and tried to leave the store.
Payne has stolen jewelry from countess stores over a span of 60+ years.
Three years ago, at age 83, Payne was sentenced to four years for stealing a 3.5-carat, $22,500 ring from El Paseo Jewelers in Palm Desert in 2013. She was released only only three months into her sentence due to prison overcrowding.
When asked about her exploits in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this year, she said simply: “I was a thief.”
