Officers were called to a Kohl's on 8100 Macedonia Commons Blvd. after the woman, who was 'linked to an organized crime theft investigation,' was spotted shopping, police said.
Officers arrived on scene and saw her shopping, but she soon left the store after looking around and not taking anything.
Police said they were able to identify her as Ashley Hoysack, who had multiple arrest warrants in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Officers said they pulled her over in the parking lot and she was arrested and taken into custody.
Upon searching her vehicle, officers said they 'found the entire back seat filled with merchandise, estimated to be worth just under $1,500, believed to have been stolen from stores in the area.'
