Doris Payne, the octogenarian famed for swiping huge amounts of high-priced bling over the years, has been arrested again.

This time she was picked up for allegedly stealing $86.22 worth of doodads from a department store in suburban Atlanta.
The famed thief -- the subject of a documentary called the "The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne" -- was wearing an electronic ankle monitor from a previous arrest.
    The incident took place at Walmart in the city of Chamblee around 5 p.m. on Monday.

    An employee watched the 86-year-old jewel thief snap up items in the pharmacy, electronics and grocery departments, police said..
    Payne put some of the stuff in her purse, a Walmart shopping bag and a shopping cart, the employee said, according to a Chamblee police report.
    When she got to the checkout line, she only paid for the goods in the cart and was arrested after she made the purchase and left the store.
    Payne was booked and cited for theft by shoplifting -- a misdemeanor.
    In December, Payne was arrested at an upscale mall in suburban Atlanta for allegedly stealing a necklace.
    She had been on probation at the time of her arrest for jewelry theft at another Atlanta mall in 2014.

    'I regret getting caught'

    Payne told the Los Angeles Times in 2008 that she stole her first diamond when she was in her 20s and then became hooked.
    In the documentary film, Payne bragged of stealing at least $2 million in jewelry, in the US, Paris, Monaco and Tokyo.
    "I don't have any regrets about stealing jewelry," she says in the film's trailer. "I regret getting caught."
    A background check reveals 10 run-ins with the law in four US states dating back to 1992. The documentary contains mugshots and arrest records from 1965.
    She steals because she can, said California-based lawyer Gretchen Von Helms, who has represented her.
    "She never hurts anybody," the attorney said. "She is not forceful."
    Payne's advanced age and diminutive appearance betray her smarts.
    "Aside from her activities she is a wonderful person with a lot of fun stories," the attorney said

    DELKALB MAN DIES AT HOME AND NOBODY NOTICED FOR OVER A YEAR UNTIL NOW

    By
    Image
    About a year ago, maybe two, police believe a DeKalb County man in his mid-forties died at home. Nobody found him until Friday, when a homeless man who'd been coming by to scavenge as of late spotted the remains, according to police. The homeless man told a neighbor, who suggested the man call police, but he didn't, so the neighbor called Monday. Authorities responded and saw the skeleton through a window of the home on Telstar Drive in the Ellenwood area. It lay in bed. Shiera Campbell, DeKalb police spokeswoman, said the county medical examiner's office is working to determine the cause of death for the man, whose identity hasn't been released. But it may be a challenge. "Right now, they don't even know how long he's been dead," Campbell said. The going theory Monday was that he could've been dead two years. Neighbors told Channel 2 Action News the man's two sisters moved him in about four years ago. Their paren

    CHANGE TO SAVE NIGERIA

    By
    Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi To President Buhari: Change should start with the National assembly: = A Senator receives N36,000,000 (thirty-six million Naira) monthly. If this is divided into two = N18,000,000 million (Eighteen million Naira). The second half which is N18,000,000 (eighteen million Naira) can be used to employ 200 Nigerians, each earning a salary of N90,000 (ninety thousand Naira) monthly. When you multiply 200 people with the number of Senators (109), this will give 21,800 Nigerians gainful employment. In short, 200 Nigerians will be able to live a comfortable life on half a Senator's monthly salary. A member of the House of Representatives receives a salary of N25,000,000 (tenty-five million Naira) monthly. If this salary is divided in two = N12,500,000 (twelve million and five hundred thousand Naira). The other half, which is the sum of N12,500,000 (twelve million and five hundred thousand Naira) will be enough to employ 135 Nigerians with a monthly salary of N92.500

    The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), a civil society organisation, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to instruct the military to immediately end any monitoring of Nigerians on the social media. SERAP, in a statement yesterday by its deputy director, Timothy Adewale, also called on the president to ensure that military operations comply with the constitution and the country's obligations under international human rights law.
