The Convicted Mellon
Brunswick, OH
Police are on the lookout for a 39-year-old Sleepy Hollow Road woman who grabbed a large watermelon from a bin near in the produce department of the Giant Eagle Supermarket Thursday afternoon and smashed it on the floor near the store’s front entrance.
Witnesses, including the store’s grocery manager, told police the woman appeared to be intoxicated when she entered the store trying to purchase alcohol. After she attempted to pay using several credit cards that were declined, the store was unable to make the transaction which prompted the woman to lose her temper, causing a scene as she left the store.
The manager followed the woman to her vehicle after the watermelon incident and was able to provide police with a license plate number. Police were initially unable to contact the suspect, however they are still attempting to do so.
Giant Eagle doesn’t plan to prosecute but wants restitution for the damaged watermelon. The woman is also no longer welcome in the store.

Oh gawd! I’m going to have to read this in the local paper. I’m almost sure of it.
The fact is, she didn’t get alcohol and had a tantrum and still hasn’t recognized she really has a problem, and she has no credit either. What a LOSER!
