A Naytahwaush woman is accused of forgery and possession of stolen property after her apparent persistence got her arrested at a Fargo department store Sunday, police said.
Fargo Police Lt. Tod Dahle said Maria Brown, 21, was arrested at 7:40 p.m. at Kohl's Department Store.
Dahle said Brown came through the checkout line with two carts full of clothes worth about $1,400. She tried to pay with a check, which was not approved, then tried using three different credit cards, none of which worked.
Police were called, and Dahle said the check and the credit cards were determined to have been stolen in Detroit Lakes.
Brown remained in the Cass County Jail Monday on lieu of $5,000 bail.
