CUSTOMER PULLS OUT GUN AFTER EMPLOYEE WON’T TAKE HER COUPON<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

It seems that every day we hear about the crazy things that go on inside and on the outskirts of Walmart. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin once officiated a wedding ceremony at a store in her hometown of Wasilla, and last week a\u00a0Walmart employee made headlines<\/a>\u00a0after being arrested for eating Oreos.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now police allege that an angered Walmart customer in Wakulla County, Florida, Mary Frances Alday, 61, waved a loaded\u00a0\u00a0Smith & Wesson .38 Special at employees after her \u201cdollar-off\u201d internet coupon wasn\u2019t honored on March 1.<\/em><\/p>\n

While in the process of checking out, Alday became \u201cextremely upset\u201d when Tracy Stockslager, the assistant manager, explained that they could not accept the printed voucher.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0a report from the Wakulla County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>, after\u00a0Alday\u2019s coupon was rejected, she called Stockslager a handful of foul names and ran into her with a shopping cart, before being escorted out of the store. \u201cIf you follow me, I have something in my car for you,\u201d Alday warned.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stockslager did follow Alday out to her car in order to take down her license plate number. However, when she reached the passenger side of the car, Alday pulled out a gun from her vehicle and began \u201cwaving the gun in the holster,\u201d reported investigators.<\/em><\/p>\n

After removing the\u00a0.38 from its holster, she then waved it at the employees near the entrance and said, \u201cI have something for y\u2019all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Police were able to catch up to the suspect, who fled the Walmart parking lot in her 2011 Ford Escape. The Smoking Gun reported that when a sheriff\u2019s deputy pulled her over and asked if there was a firearm in the SUV, Alday admitted to it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I have a concealed weapons permit and you are not taking my gun,\u201d she said. Then, after\u00a0refusing to exit her vehicle, Alday reached over to get her weapon from the center console and\u00a0was tasered.<\/em><\/p>\n

She has been charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of battery.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the sheriff\u2019s report did not specify what she was trying to buy in the first place.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
