Woman allegedly hits guard with baby


A 26-year-old woman of Tennessee is being charged with child abuse and assault after she used her friend's baby to assault a security guard at Wal-Mart. Camilla Fields was holding the 2-month-old boy in a car seat when she swung it at the guard.

Fields was hiding in the bathroom pretending to change the baby's diaper when she was actually hiding some clothes she stole. The security guard confronted her, and then she hit the guard with the seat (with the baby inside) causing the drop from her hands. She picked the seat up and ran out of the store as the guard was chasing her, and she hit him again with the seat and then it fell to the ground landing with the baby's face down. She ran and left the baby behind who was now unconscious.

The baby was taken to the hospital is not seriously injured. Fields turned herself in later. The baby's mother, Stacey Cleaves, was outside during the incident. When police questioned her, she gave false information, and she's being charged with that at child neglect. She said Fields' name was Darrin and that Fields was the baby's aunt.

Shoplifting suspects make it too easy for police to track them down



Two women in Port St. Lucie, Florida tried to shoplift about $200 worth from their local Wal-Mart. They were using the self-checkout line and only scanned about $70 worth. An employee noticed that their bags looked like it was much more than just $70. So, when the employee asked to see the receipt, the two women took off.

What helped police get them? One of the women left her recently developed photos in the cart. And guess what? It had her name and phone number on the envelope!

$1,200 in Victoria's Secret lip gloss stolen


The Victoria's Secret store in a Nanuet Mall in New York had $1,200 worth of lip gloss stolen. Apparently shoplifting has been on the rise lately (which I'm sure is due partly to the economy). But, 74 tubes of this lip gloss sprouted legs and walked off. The article says that this Victoria's Secret store has become popular with shoplifting in the area. I guess since people can't afford to go out, they have to have fun in the house somehow, right?

Want to make $100,000 a year?


Most of us would love to make $100,000 a year right? This couple did it by selling STOLEN stuff on eBay. THEN they went on national tv and admitted it! They went on the Dr. Phil show, told everyone how they did it, and now they have the Feds on their backs.
