Old habits truly do die hard, and notorious international jewel thief Doris Payne is back at it again. She was arrested Monday night at a Walmart in DeKalb County, Ga., and charged with theft by shoplifting.

According to WSB-TV, police were called to the store around 5 p.m. after receiving a report about a woman shoplifting. They later identified the alleged shoplifter as the 86-year-old Payne, who apparently attempted to hide items from the store’s pharmacy, electronics and grocery departments.
