Three people were arrested Saturday on multiple charges after a shoplifting attempt at an Anchorage Walmart reportedly turned into a robbery. The store’s loss prevention told police a woman had pointed a handgun at three employees after they confronted her about merchandise hidden in her purse. The thief reportedly left the store in a white SUV driven by someone else. Officers located the SUV a few blocks away in the parking lot of the Chuck E. Cheese’s. The vehicle was unoccupied except for a puppy, which was later placed in the care of Animal Control. A witness told officers the occupants had gone into the Chuck E. Cheese’s restrooms. When officers searched the restrooms, they found a handgun inside a sanitary napkin disposal bin, a syringe containing heroin, and tags that had been removed from the stolen Walmart merchandise. 38-year-old Tacie P. Chaison was also found in the upstairs bathroom and matched the description of the suspect in the Walmart robbery. She was arrested on an outstanding warrant and is now facing new charges including robbery.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

An apparent Grinch was spotted on surveillance video plowing through a Christmas display outside a suburban Indianapolis home and tips are being sought to find the man. WRTV broadcast the video recorded Sunday night by a neighbor’s camera in Greenwood. The video starts with a man getting out of a black SUV and then walking up to take a closer look at the front yard where Casie Arnold says her family had a 12-foot-tall inflatable snowman. The man gets back into the vehicle, backs up, and drives through the family’s yard and over the decoration. Arnold says they heard a pop while watching a Christmas movie. Tire tracks were in the yard. Arnold says she wonders if the driver was possibly a Grinch who doesn’t like Christmas. (https://nyp.st/2PxUSB6)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com

According to Federal Agents, a passenger who arrived in New York City on a flight from Guyana had seventy live birds hidden in a piece of luggage. The smuggling attempt was thwarted Saturday when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents inspected a black duffel bag being carried by a traveler who flew from Georgetown to John F. Kennedy International Airport. The traveler, a Guyanese citizen, was not arrested. Instead, he was not allowed entry into the U.S. and was returned to his home country. Agents found the finches stuffed inside individual plastic hair curlers. The birds are often used in “singing contests” popular among Caribbean immigrants. The smuggling of finches from Guyana has previously resulted in the arrest of multiple travelers. The seized finches were quarantined and subsequently turned over to Department of Agriculture officials. (https://bit.ly/2PxGb0L)
