Somebody's dog probably pooped on her lawn

[Stu from NYC]

I have to go soon will read all about it later in the Village Sun.

[brianherlihy]

keep your dog at your home and pick up your poop at your home

It wasn't my dog , honest,, I dont have one

[Stu from NYC]

Hmm she had a brick and a knife. Perhaps she was trying to start a game of rock, paper scissors and got confused?

1:30 PM? Not too early in the day for some. I wonder if there was a relationship between the lady's first name and the catalyst for her antics.

Reporters write a lot of stories about people being arrested. But, rarely do you read the rest of the story. What was their ultimate punishment?

[MrFlorida]

Crazy people are everywhere.

[I'm Popeye!]

So why bring up the topic of dogs and poop, guess your looking for trouble I bet... :ohdear:

Or, just making a silly joke (which WAS funny, btw...)

[PugMom]

all i can say is i'm glad no one got hurt. you never know what's going on in the tainted minds of others, & it's probably drug-related (meth) in most cases. the poor cops now have to police the area, acting as law enforcement, social workers, psych majors & baby-sitters :ohdear:

She was tased, cuffed, and stuffed into the patrol car. Then it was off to jail. I'm not making this up, it was on the 6 p.m. news, which showed the actual takedown.

But there’s nothing funny about the facts of this story, where a woman strung out on meth enters a Walmart and threatens shoppers with a brick, then a knife. Sad situation but glad she was subdued and taken away before anyone got hurt.

When you get tasered, as she was, it’s known also as “riding the lightning”.

We had to have it done to us in our training to carry a taser. It is not fun…..

[B-flat]

At least she had her mask on so she won't catch any disease. Talk about the decline of civilization, sad in the big picture.

[BlackHarley]

I understand the knife, but since when did Wally Mart start selling bricks? Or maybe it was a byob felony?

This adds more ammunition for the "let's make drugs legal" movement.

She brought the brick in with her , picked up the knife inside the store.

[OhioBuckeye]

Well at least no one got killed! Sounds like this lady had some mental issues.

[Petersweeney]

Maybe she was just trying to make a sandwich-

[NoMoSno]

She made it on You Tube

Drugs don't kill people, bricks do.

[karostay]

just trash that needs to go to the dump

The joke was about "dog poop"...

Settle down, Beavis...

And showed up in court with a slap on the hand and set free.

Video is on law and crime channel YouTube. Marion county sheriff

[MEbner2805]

Well that IS outside the bubble and the real world is like that - no surprise at all! Could be worse…. A shooter.

[Topspinmo]

Crazy people are everywhere.

Especially at that Walmart :boom:

The brick was for her boyfriends windshield :faint:

Not so fast, was in Marion county, sometimes makes difference.

[OhioBuckeye]

Yea, wonder if they’ll ban bricks now? They say people kill with guns, wonder how bricks kill people, gotta think about this one!
