Indiana Woman Gets Caught Stealing, Throws Feces — Escapes

Today’s WTF news comes out of the Midwest. Apparently there’s a lot of manure going on in Mernards.

According to several national news outlets:

A woman trying to steal a video camera from an Indianapolis store escaped after throwing feces at a security worker.

Indianapolis police responded Tuesday to a Menards on the city’s east side and a loss prevention officer told them that he saw the shoplifting suspect remove the camera from its packaging and place it into a bag.

The officer told the police that when he tried to stop the woman from leaving she reached into her pants, pulled out a handful of feces and threw it at him. He says the feces hit him in the chest. The woman ran out the door and escaped.

The camera was recovered and they’re trying to locate the woman.

So she just had manure waiting at her leisure?

WATCH: Driver Flips Car Over In Petty Road Spat, Gets Arrested

Nevermind flipping the bird during a road rage meltdown, this driver flipped the whole entire car!

According to ABC7 News:

Video shows one driver get out of his BMW and walk to the Ford Escape behind him. It appears words were exchanged between the two, and as the first driver walked back to his car, he spat on driver of the SUV.

The driver of the BMW then drove away. The 23-year-old driver of the Ford Escape was arrested on suspicion of felony assault. The driver of the BMW was later apprehended and faces various misdemeanor charges.

Smh! From the looks of the video it does not appear that the SUV guy intentionally tried to assault the BMW guy with his vehicle. Looks more like a freak accident to me, but spitting on someone? — now that’s assault. What do you think?

Laugh out loud! This guy is brilliant. For most people, being locked overnight in a convenience store’s beer cooler would be cause for panic. For this Wisconsin man, it was cause to start drinking.

 According to Fox News– Police in the town of Marshfield say Jeremy Van Ert, 38, walked into the local Kwik Trip convenience store Tuesday night to buy some beer. However, Van Ert became trapped in the store’s walk-in cooler at midnight, when its lock automatically engaged.

Marshfield police Chief Rick Gramza told WAOW that Van Ert “knew that Kwik Trip would not sell him any beer, so he decided to remain in the beer cooler.”

Van Ert remained in the cooler until 6 a.m. Wednesday, when a customer noticed him and alerted employees. Van Ert fled the store after he was let out.

According to the police report, Van Ert drank an 18-oz. bottle of Icehouse beer and three cans of Four Loko. He also fell over a stack of Busch Light 30-pack cases, breaking three of them open.

Van Ert was cited for theft and he reportedly was being held in the Wood County Jail on a probation hold from an unrelated case.
