A North Platte woman was arrested Monday night for going to Walmart, a store from which she had been banned.

According to Investigator John Deal, officers received a report that Latosha Ryan was inside Walmart, even though she had previously been banned from the store.

An officer stopped Ryan as she was exiting the store.

Deal said Ryan voluntarily showed the contents of her purse to the officer, which revealed an unmarked pill bottle containing a scheduled controlled substance.

Ryan was eventually able to prove that she had a prescription for the substance, but, because it was not in the original container, she was cited for misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance-other than the original container.

She was also charged with trespassing.
