Woman drives through store after refused gift card purchases
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – Employees of an Oregon grocery store are cleaning up after a police say a woman drove her SUV into the store and down the aisles.
Springfield police say a 43-year-old Glenwood woman tried to purchase $2,200 of gift cards and became upset when her check bounced and Safeway employees would not complete the transaction.
The Register-Guard reports (http://bit.ly/2bzB67R) that she angrily left the store Tuesday afternoon and returned just after midnight Wednesday morning. Police say she parked in front of the store and was yelling about wanting her gift cards.
Police say the woman then drove the SUV through the store entrance, up and down an aisle, and out the other side of the Safeway.
Police arrested her at her home.
No one was injured.
