Norwalk, CA

A 74 year-old woman drove her 1988 Cadillac through the front of a convenience store recently. I guess that’s not much news. What she did next, however, is:

She staggered out of the wreckage, shouted “I’m here for beer!” and wobbled over to the cooler to grab a six of Budweiser. When she reached the counter where the owner of Joe’s Food Mart, Atef Awada, waited, he refused to sell the potation to the 112-pound, 5-foot-4 woman, at which point she shoved the poor shopkeep around.  Just for practice.

She’s out of jail now, on $15,000 bail. The shop had $8,000 in damages, but didn’t ever close. “We’ve seen this all before,” the owner said. The good news is, he’s got video footage from surveillance cameras, which he’ll sell to recoup his losses. Watch for it on “America’s Funniest Videos” soon.
