SAN ANTONIO — Police arrested a woman Tuesday evening suspected of stealing a pallet of sausage worth more than $6,000 from the Kiolbassa Provision Company.

Regina Shaw, a former employee, was caught on camera Sept. 14 taking a pallet of meat with an estimated value of more than $6,400 dollars from the company, 1325 S. Brazos St., according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Shortly after the theft, a man who had purchased some of the hot meat wrote a letter to the company explaining that not only had he purchased a few boxes of sausage from Shaw, 45, but had also accepted additional meat to settle a debt that Shaw could not repay, the affidavit said.

Representatives from Kiolbassa supplied authorities with images of Shaw in the act along with the letter, seeking to press charges.

Shaw was taken to the Bexar County Jail where she was charged with felony theft $1,500 - $20,000.

She was released after posting a $5,000 bail.
