A woman was arrested for allegedly stealing money from a Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station donation jar moments after being released from the station’s jail on narcotics charges.

Alexandra Smee, 32, of Saugus, was initially arrested just before 5 p.m. Sunday on a misdemeanor charge for being under the influence of a controlled substance, according to Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

Smee was released from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail just before 1 a.m. Monday.

Ten minutes after her release, deputies caught her allegedly stealing an unknown amount of money from a donation jar in the Sheriff’s Station lobby for “999 for Kids,” a nonprofit organization that assists children in need.

Deputies arrested Smee for the second time in less than 12 hours, charged her with petty theft and vandalism and put her back into the station’s jail.

Bail was set at $100,000, Miller said.
