Windhelm guards keep saying "Wait... I know you." but don't follow it up

[A Harmless Burke]

So during a Thieves Guild quest, I stole an item from the house of Clan Shatter-Shield and was caught by a guard right ouside. I bribed her to overlook the crime for now, but the guards in Windhelm keep saying "Wait... I know you." but the dialogue options don't appear to either pay off my bounty, go to jail or survive the guard attack. What do I do?

commit another petty crime infront of a guard.

Your bounty is not high enough to get the options.

He can't be bothered, currently.

If your bounty is between 101 and 1000 gold, inclusive, guards may repeatedly say "Wait... I know you" without ever offering the option to pay your bounty. This can block several quests.
Attack a guard and you will be presented with the customary options

This happened to me recently too. It was annoying. I don't even recall where I got the fine either. I am usally very careful.

Just pickpocket something cheap from their inventory and fail, or steal something in front of a guard and pay your bounty.

Thank you all for your help. I tried all your suggestions and got my bounty cleared. Thanks!

its a very common glytch even on unmodded games. its harmless just annoying. In the area of the gaurds going "wait I know you" just commit a random crime like stealing something in a way that gets you seen or just hit a gard and seath your weapon (thats how you say you submit) and pay the bounty it SHOULD fix the "wait I know you" all the time.
