A Santa Maria woman was arrested Wednesday after a deputy found her prowling behind a Goodwill store in Orcutt, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s officials say Erica Woolum, 37, of Santa Maria appeared to be going through the donated items behind the store. They say she was found to be in possession of more than five grams of packaged methamphetamine and several license plates, and her vehicle was unregistered.
