A woman charged with stealing after a break in at Eagles Field Monday appeared before a judge Monday.

Kallista Allen was charged with misdemeanor stealing for the incident. As we reported, police believe Allen convinced two men to break into the concession stand at 2303 Marion Road on Monday. They allegedly took candy, soda, Gatorade, and baseball equipment, then loaded it into a John Deere Gator that was also stolen.

Allen told Associate Circuit Judge Rebecca Spencer she has applied for a public defender. Bail was set earlier at $1,000 cash plus a $9,000 surety bond. Allen seemed surprised, and broke down into tears when Judge Spencer refused to reduce bail.

The judge scheduled the case for the trial setting docket June 1. Allen remains in custody in the Buchanan County Jail. According to online court records, the warrants against the two alleged accomplices have not yet been served.
