A BYU-Idaho student from Arizona charged with burglary waived her preliminary hearing Monday.

20-year-old Tavia Womack allegedly burglarized over 10 businesses in May. She was caught after going into a Rexburg music store and switching an old guitar for a brand new instrument.

The next day Womack tried to buy a guitar car at the Idaho Falls Chesbro music story. Workers called police and she was taken into custody.
