Woman accused of cooking meth at Wal-Mart, A woman in Oklahoma is arrested after she was caught mixing chemicals needed to make Meth inside a Wal-Mart, because she was too broke to buy it.


Shoppers had no idea this woman was suspected of cooking meth inside this Wal-Mart while they were inside.

Jessica Fuentes had her one-year-old son in the store. "People need to start thinking. If she has family she needs to think about her family. If you are broke do something. Get a job, do something better with your life. Don't do something like that. It's just wrong."

Police say once Wal-Mart security knew what Elizabeth Halfmoon was up to they called police. "When I saw her she had just finished mixing-she had just finished up the mixing process of some sulfuric acid with starter fluid in a bottle and was in the process of taping the cap on to the bottle."

They immediately got her and the ingredients out of there before anyone got hurt. No one was evacuated.

When asked why she was trying to make meth, Halfmoon said she wasn’t trying to make meth.

However, some of the firefighters that were on the scene said she told them she was in the process of trying to manufacture methamphetamine. However, she said that she was not very good at it."

The chemicals ate some of the paint off of the shelf. Another officer who responded didn't know exactly what Halfmoon made. He's been treated and is okay after getting chemical burns on his hands.

"Something could have happened, something could have blown up in there. We would have all been screwed." It's just something you don't do in a family store."

Police say they arrested Halfmoon last month in another meth sting. She had just recently been released.
