Probably because they know she's a demon. And poor.
But yeah, characters who imprison the guy who did nothing wrong and was actually trying to return stolen goods is a common trope.
Reminds me of Thundercats 2011, when the kittens tried to return a wallet and the guy called the guards on them for stealing it.
Can't you see I have brought you the item you're missing? Had I stolen it, I wouldn't be presenting the item to you, would I?
That trope is infuriating, but very effective in making the audience sympathize with the character suffering the prejudice!
