Cops bust woman, 74, for pouring mayo in book drop.

shilala · 06-14-2010, 03:38 PM

BOISE, Idaho -- Police said a 74-year-old woman arrested after pouring mayonnaise in the Ada County library's book drop box is a person of interest in a yearlong spree of condiment-related crimes of the same sort.
The woman was arrested Sunday at the library, moments after police said she pulled through the outside drive-through and dumped an open jar of mayonnaise in the box designated for reading materials.
The woman was released from the county jail and faces a misdemeanor charge of malicious injury to property. Police did not disclose a motive.
Boise police said the woman is under investigation for at least 10 similar cases of vandalism since May 2009. Library employees have reported finding books in the drop box covered in corn syrup and ketchup.

I've been laughing about that title and the "condiment related crimes" for quite some time now.
I'm not sure what set off this lady, but I thank her for the laugh, even if she messed up the books.

Generic, I'd imagine. Only a true renegade would waste a jar of Hellman's like that.

You know, if you made this $#!+ up, nobody would believe you. Some vandal granny dumping assorted crap from Aisle 6 over other's property, not once but repeatedly? Have they called in the SBI and the troopers?

And I always thought Boise was a quiet and peaceful place, but looks like the Big Potato is trying to outdo the Big Apple.

Man I guess crime is really "spreading" all over!!!

I figured in Boise, Idaho it would be sour cream and chives!!!

Too bad there's no law against poor condiment choices.

I feel ya. I don't wanna be the guy that has to lick the generic mayo off the books. If I had a bucket of fries and it was Hellman's, game on.

74?? And she couldn't find anything better to do?

Ashcan Bill · 06-14-2010, 08:51 PM

Ah, the poor old thing probably got confused and thought it was the drop box for the local food bank.

To bad it wasn't Morton's Salt she was dumping out. Anyone that throws salt away will be given a metal of honor from Michael Blumberg.

Poor old lady was just confused. Books from the side kindof look like sandwiches. Big 'ol paper sandwiches.. Mmmm.. She was just trying to get her daily dose of fibre, and digest the information she had just read. Mayo just helps it go down easier.

Or, she's a Serial Condimentist.
