Police say an Ohio woman being driven around in a limousine announced at a coat store she'd won the lottery and would pay for everyone's purchases but ended up causing a riot when customers realized it was a hoax. Columbus police Lt. Michael Deakins says the woman announced Tuesday she'd spend $500 on everyone at a Burlington Coat Factory, prompting customers to gather at registers and call relatives.
When police arrived, 500 people filled the store and another 1,000 were outside.
Cashiers rang up sales before discovering the woman had no money. Angry customers grabbed clothes without paying.
The limo driver turned the woman in.
Police say she was arrested on three outstanding warrants but wasn't charged for the coat store chaos pending a mental health evaluation.
A spokeswoman for the Burlington, N.J.-based coat store had no comment. They may not have a comment but I sure do have one. I think this is frickin' hilarious!!! And the people deserve exactly what they get. It seems that these days everyone is looking for a free lunch. And the store should NOT have begun ringing anyone up until AFTER they confirmed that the lady actually had the means to make good on her claim and had that been done THEN and only then announce it over the in store speakers to customers.
So, for Burlington making a fool of itself I give you a big HOOORAAAH! To the lady posing as a lottery winner I give you a HAAA HAAA HAAA LOVE IT! For the people who were jumping at the chance to get some free stuff and being so tacky as to call others I say - HA HA HA on you you cheap ass bastards! LOL
