What sort of a thing is this?
Imagine the thought process.
A Connecticut woman celebrating her 50th birthday in style has been charged with robbing the limousine driver she hired to chauffeur her around town.
Melanie Roberts had a dispute with the driver over how much she owed him just after midnight Monday, Willimantic police said.
Police said she removed the keys from the vehicle and ran to her home where she grabbed a loaded 9mm pistol.
In a news release, authorities said: ‘Upon returning she threatened to “shoot-out” the tires to the limousine.
‘The woman then reached inside the limousine and removed a GPS mapping device and clipboard which contained money and her signed contract for the service.’
Roberts took off and the driver contacted 911, authorities said.
Willimantic police said: ‘Police officer’s [sic] then arrived within the area and detained the female in question within that same parking lot.
‘The woman was arrested and a 9mm pistol was located on her person.’
Cpl. Stanley F. Parizio, Jr. told the Hartford Courant: ‘Anytime you mix alcohol, heightened emotions and a firearm…things can turn sideways.
‘We were fortunate that no one was injured and that no shots were fired.’
