Senior Citizens Arrested For Costco Robbery
STOCKTON (CBS13) ―


Three senior citizens were allegedly caught red handed trying to steal from a Stockton Costco store, according to authorities.

Dora Mae Lewis, Sandra Denise Williams and Susan Diane Lockette Gibson loaded their cart with liquor bottles and other items and attempted to walk out of the store without paying, according to the Stockton Police Department.

When security confronted the three senior citizens, the situation became ugly.

"One of the females became combative with the employees that were trying to stop them," said Pete Smith from the Stockton Police Department. "She began swinging a full liquor bottle at one of the employees."

As the confrontation escalated in the parking lot, another suspect allegedly tried to return the stolen merchandise back in the store.

6. I am sure they got their inspiration from the last eight years of Republican Rule.

They will get years behind bars while people like Scooter Libby with five felony convictions or Ted Stevens with seven felony convictions will not spend a single day. Ain't America Great?

7. Actually, they will probably get probation

Jails around here are not all that eager to house "eldery" people because of the medical costs and the effort needed to keep them healthy and safe.. they would rather fine them, and send them packing..
