STORE CRASH
NORWALK, Calif. (AP) - Talk about a beer run! Police in Norwalk,
California, report a woman ran her car through the front window of
a convenience store, then tried to buy a six-pack of Budweiser.
According to authorities, 74-year-old Lynne Rice plowed about
halfway through the store in her '88 Cadillac. The store owner
tells the Long Beach Press-Telegram he doesn't know how she even
managed to walk. Rice was taken to a hospital for a check-up and
was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence. By
the way, the cashier refused to sell her the brew.
