Alisha Halfmoon KOTV

(CBS/AP) TULSA, Okla. - A woman was arrested last week for allegedly trying to make methamphetamine in a Tulsa Walmart store.

According to CBS affiliate KOTV, security personnel called 911 to report that a woman had gathered ingredients, including chemical drain cleaner and lithium, throughout the store, and was mixing them on a store shelf. They told police she had been in the store for six hours.

Police allege that Alisha Greta Halfmoon, 45, mixed two containers of sulfuric acid, and that one officer felt a burning sensation on his hand after touching some of it. Police did not find pseudoephedrine, a cold medication used to make meth.

Halfmoon hasn't been formally charged in the case. Two days before her arrest, KOTV reports that she had been bailed out of jail in a drug case. Previous charges against her include possession of methamphetamine and using a forged prescription to obtain drugs.
