Meth user arrested in WalMart. Drove a motorized cart, drank wine, ate an entire rotisserie chicken.



A Florida woman was arrested after she was seen driving through Walmart on a motorized cart, drinking bottles of wine and eating food out of packages and putting it back.

Josseleen Lopez, 25, was first spotted with a half empty bottle of wine by a loss prevention officer.

According to WPTV, store securtiy watched as she opened a sushi package, ate a piece, and then put it back on the shelf. Security said this was also done with a pack of mini muffins and cinnamon rolls. She was then later seen eating an entire rotisserie chicken in the store.

According to police, when Lopez was arrested, she was found with two empty syringes, which she admitted to having used to shoot meth.

...the story I posted about the guy who shoplifted sex toys. Was accused of "ridiculing" and "bashing" Florida.

Hey...I was ROOTING for the guy to NOT BE FROM Florida. Can I help it if these incidents "cluster" in the sunshine state?

to join this state) did this to my house a few days ago with my brother watching (he lives with me) and stunned by how she flew in out of nowhere and in a hurry, ransacked all of our cupboards and fridge leaving a big mess, and swore the whole time because we didn't have coke-a-cola, then she drove away very fast and recklessly. My brother called me at work saying what she'd done and if she has a key he can't stay there because he can't trust his. I told him I've never given her a key and I'm not close enough to her for her to even visit so I'm not sure why she showed up at my house at all, let alone thought she could go though our cupbards. I called my sister and she explained the meth thing and that my niece was crashing and out of her mind or wouldn't have shown up at my house. I have to agree, I mean I'm not a total stranger to her but pretty close. I was asking my brother, are you sure it was her because she doesn't visit me ever.

It's not impossible or even near impossible.

It's like anything else. You stop and you don't start again, and it hurts for awhile, then it gets better.

I've been in rougher places where it may be bad manners to eat food before purchase, but the cashiers check out half eaten boxes of mini-donuts or half empty bottles of soda without comment.

Sampling is not a big thing...sour grapes and cherries ruin a day. But yes, the people who make a meal are thieves and should be arrested.

I'm all for a good joke, but this Florida Man/Florida Woman schtick is getting mighty old.

That said, she looks incredibly young for 25 and I hope she turns her life around quickly.
