GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Mattea McQuisten was placed on probation for three years and will get additional supervision through the drug treatment court for stealing more than $2,700 worth of alcohol from several businesses in less than a week.
McQuisten, 45, pleaded no contest to six charges, including felony and misdemeanor retail theft counts, as well as fleeing an officer and obstruction. However, sentence was withheld on the felony retail theft counts and she was placed into the drug treatment court.
Before the sentence was issued, McQuisten said she was appreciative of the chance for additional addiction treatment.
According to the criminal complaint, the thefts happened in a span of five days:
- On Jan. 16, McQuisten stole several bottles of alcohol worth $519.86 from the HyVee in Ashwaubenon.
- Three times between Jan. 17 and 21, McQuisten went into the Meijer store in Howard, gathered items and left the store without paying. Most of the items were alcohol. On the 17th, it included one bottle of Patron, one bottle of Courvoisier, two bottles of Remy Martin and one bottle of Don Julio 1942, worth a combined $299.96. On the 19th, the items were worth $968.37. On the 21st, the theft included six bottles of Courvoisier, one bottle of Don Julio 1942 and one bottle of Don Julio Rosado worth $623.91.
- On Jan. 17, McQuisten stole a bottle of Lagavulin 16 Year scotch, worth $152.99, from Neo’s Discount Tobacco & Liquor in Green Bay. She also attempted to steal another bottle Jan. 21, but was halted by the employee.
- On Jan. 20, McQuisten stole a bottle of McCallan 15 Year, worth $159.99, from Ridgeview Liquor in Ashwaubenon.
When police tried to pull her over Jan. 25, she fled. Given the icy conditions and McQuisten allegedly ignoring several stop signs, the chase was abandoned.
Police pulled her over again Friday. She initially gave a false name before identifying herself, the complaint states.
