Police say she was arrested after stealing candy
The woman acquitted of murder in 2017 is back in custody.
Alison Roe, 48, Waupaca, is charged with felony bail jumping and misdemeanor retail theft.
On Sept. 17, Waupaca Police Officer Brent Wittman was dispatched to the Kwik Trip on West Fulton Street for a shoplifting complaint.
According to the criminal complaint, Wittman reviewed surveillance video that showed Roe select a large bag of M&Ms, walk to the bakery display, return to the candy aisle and replace the large bag with two small bags of M&Ms, which she placed in her purse.
Roe allegedly paid for other items she picked up in the store, but not for the M&Ms.
When Wittman interviewed Roe, she said she did not remember taking the candy or even eating it.
Roe reportedly said she had used meth two to four hours before going to Kwik Trip and when she uses drugs, she forgets things.
