A woman accused of stealing $6,400 worth of sausage from her employer isn't coming out a wiener.

Regina Shaw, 45, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with felony theft between $1,500-$20,000 for an alleged sausage heist that took place Sept. 14 at the Kiolbassa Provision Company, where she was employed, KSAT reports.

Surveillance footage allegedly recorded Shaw taking a “pallet of meat product” from her place of work. She then allegedly sold a portion of the meat to a man named Peter Medellin, according to The Smoking Gun.

Medellin identified Shaw in a photo lineup and told police he accepted "more kielbasa" as payment for a loan he had given the accused.

A police affidavit did not specify how much meat was sold to Medellin nor how she managed to steal a whole pallet of sausage in the first place.

Shaw lost her job at the company the same day she was arrested.

She was taken to the Bexar County Jail and released after posting a $5,000 bail.
