Officers took her into custody when she left through the front door. Miller said all the items found on Rodriguez were returned to the store.
Rodriguez also allegedly ripped two motion sensors out of the wall.
Police confirmed that responding officers did have their guns drawn during the arrest. Miller said that is within the protocol for an in-progress burglary.
Deschutes County Court documents say Rodriguez is charged with second-degree burglary and two counts of first-degree theft — all felonies. She’s also charged with second-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor.
