There are many things that can make Christmas Eve special.
A family dinner.
A party with friends.
Midnight Mass.
Spending the night in jail for punching a 70-year-old Wal-Mart greeter in the face is not one of those things.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
It happened at the Batavia Walmart. According to State Police, the greeter….a woman, by the way……asked a 26-year-old woman (you just knew it was going to be another woman, didn’t you?) to show receipts for items she was carrying in store bags.
So naturally the shopper popped her in the kisser and knocked her down.
After doing her impression of Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby, the shopper ran out of the store, but didn’t get far….troopers say employees and customers surrounded her until police arrived. (fortunately for her, the cops arrived before anyone decided to administer a little frontier justice)
The greeter suffered some facial fractures…..not an easy thing to go through at any age, let alone 70.
The shopper was charged with two counts of assault (the second count is because the victim was older than 65) and taken to the Genesee County Jail, where she was held on $20,000 bail.
In case you're wondering, troopers say she had receipts for everything in her bag.
No matter how her case plays out in court, I think it’s safe to say she’ll be on Santa’s naughty list for quite a while. And the guy who wrote "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" is working on his next hit.
