An officer saw Clark walking in the mall and asked her to go back to Body Central, and when she did the alarm went off, according to a police report.

Police said Clark could not provide receipts for any of the items in her bag. They said she later admitted the items were stolen.

Police said they found an aluminum foil lining in Clark's purse that's commonly used to defeat anti-theft devices in stores.

According to the report, Clark said her sister also stole items but wasn't at the mall anymore.

Clark also stole clothes and other women's accessories from Wet Seal, Bath and Body Works, Aeropostale, Charlotte Russe, Icing and Forever 21, according to the police report.
