Call it the great Boise condiment caper.

Boise, Idaho police believe that Joy L. Cassidy, 74, may be behind a string of condiment-related crimes in the state’s capitol area. The AP reports that Cassidy was arrested on Sunday at a local library after she reportedly poured a jar of mayonnaise in the Ada County library’s book drop box.

Cassidy’s suspected weekend actions have her down as a person of interest in several other crimes at the library. In addition to mayonnaise, the drop box has been previously attacked with corn syrup and ketchup.

While the mayonnaise was likely purchased at a local grocery store, Cassidy’s car had more severe ammunition in tow. The Idaho Statesman reports that Boise Police found a loaded handgun under the driver’s seat.
