King was arrested and searched. During the search a gold coloured chain bracelet with cubic zirconias was located in her shirt's front top pocket in a small mesh bag.
During an interview with police, King said she had been given the bracelet by a man called "Adam".
She told police he had walked past her in the street, saw she was wearing a bracelet and asked if she would like another one.
She said "Adam" had told her that a woman called "Leanne from Parkes" had given the bracelet to him and there was a matching necklace he had given to someone else.
King's solicitor told the court his client had been out of trouble since 2015 after addressing her alcohol addiction in rehab and a relapse had triggered this offending.
During sentencing King appeared annoyed, constantly getting up and pacing behind her solicitor.
Magistrate Michael O'Brien made it a condition of King's order that she provide particulars for her future identification to police. He also ordered that the bracelet be returned to the owner when they were identified.
