Woman Pummels Clerk after Feud of $20 Bill

I know this isn't horrible news, but I couldn't stop laughing after I read about this. My friend, her roommate, and I found this on the Wii News last night, and I decided to share.

Delaware State Police said a woman punched a gas station clerk in the face and held scissors to his throat in a dispute over how much money she had given him. The clerk at the Country Farms on West Newport Pike told police that a 53-year-old woman asked for $20 of gas, but only gave him a $1 bill. The clerk said the woman, certain that she had given him a $20 bill, screamed at him when he refused to give her $20.

Then police said the woman stormed behind the counter, punched the clerk in the face and held scissors to his throat. At that point, he gave the woman two $10 bills.

As the woman drove away, police said she found the $20 bill in her purse and returned to the gas station. Police said she was arrested and charged with offensive touching and aggravated menacing.

:roflmao:

I hope the clerk wasn't too horribly injured. And goddamned, that gas station ought to give him a week's paid vacation. Jesus.

"Offensive touching and aggravated menacing"? How about slapping her with a charge of assault and battery? She threatened him with a deadly weapon.

Offensive touching? Sounds more like someone being grabbed in the ass then this.

Exactly.

Offensive touching...? Makes me wonder what kind of scissors she held to his throat then.

Did she go back to the gas station to apologize (too little, too late, of course)?

Offensive touching? What kind of charge is that? She punched him, that's assault, man!
