Best Alibi Ever
-
The City Council of Fort Myers has paid a woman $4,750 to settle her wrongful arrest claim. Yeah, everyone who gets arrested claims it was a false arrest. Her alibi, though, is about as rock-solid as you can get: at the time she was alleged to have shoplifted at a Target store, she just happened to be in jail for pawning stolen property. A Target rent-a-cop picked her out of a lineup, but if the detective on the case took even a cursory look at the case, he'd have seen that she could not have been the one who stole the vacuum cleaners. The woman demanded $50,000 and got less than 10% of that, and maybe she should have held out for more. (Fort Myers News-Press; Thanks to Dave Elliott at WGUF/Naples-Ft. Myers for the link)
