NILES — A 31-year-old woman whose address was unknown was arraigned on three charges Wednesday after an alleged shoplifting incident at the Wal-Mart store, 2107 S. 11th St., Niles, led to the discovery of methamphetamine components in her car.

A spokeswoman at Berrien County Trial Court in Niles said bond for Brandy Haulcomb was set at $7,500 on charges of unarmed robbery and assault and battery and $10,000 on a charge of possession of meth lab components. She was lodged in the county jail in lieu of bond.

Berrien County sheriff’s deputies said they were dispatched to the store shortly before noon Tuesday after a store official reported Haulcomb had assaulted a security guard who had attempted to detain Haulcomb for suspected shoplifting.

Subsequent investigation led to the discovery of the meth lab components in Haulcomb’s car in the store’s parking lot.

Haulcomb is scheduled for a case conference Tuesday at the county Trial Court in St. Joseph.
