A Florida woman was arrested this week after stealing several hundred dollars worth of merchandise from Target and then posting about her haul on social media, Sunshine State police say.

Marlena Valez, 22, stands accused of a lone count of petit theft in excess of $100 but less than $750, a misdemeanor.

The incident occurred on Oct. 30 at a Target in Cape Coral — a large city along the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida.
