A woman from Madison, Wisconsin, faces a disorderly conduct charge after
swinging a VCR at and hitting a grocery store manager over frustrations
involving the self-checkout lanes, police said.
Madison police responded on June 27 to reports of a disturbance that
started inside a Woodman’s store and moved to the parking lot.
Cheryl A. Elkinton, 56, was reportedly screaming at people and making
threats.
The disturbance started inside Woodman’s when Elkinton reportedly became agitated at the self-checkout lane, police said. When employees went to help her, she became belligerent and started yelling. Elkinton continued to scream and swung a VCR at a manager.
When the VCR hit the manager, he told Elkinto she had to leave the store. Elkinton got on a bus before police arrived, but they were able to stop it nearby and eventually cite her with disorderly conduct. Police said it is unclear why Elkinton had a VCR with her at a grocery store.
