SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (KVAL) – A woman drove her SUV through the aisles of a Safeway grocery store shortly after midnight when the store didn’t accept her $2,200 check payment for gift cards earlier in the day, Springfield Police officials said.
"It goes without saying that we are just grateful that no customers or employees were harmed in our Springfield Safeway this morning," said Jill McGinnis, communications manager with Safeway. "We are currently working diligently to open our doors later this afternoon."
Employees at the store at 1891 Pioneer Parkway East told police that 43-year-old Noella Yvonne Fay came into the store around 4 p.m. Tuesday trying to buy several gift cards totaling $2,200.
They said she left the store angry when her check didn’t clear.
Fay returned to the store around 12:20 a.m. Wednesday and parked her Chevy Tahoe in front of the doors.
According to police, Fay was “yelling about wanting her cards" when an employee told her to move her car so they could discuss the transaction.
Police officials said Fay drove through the west doors, turned down an aisle towards the back of the store, reversed back to the cash registers and turned towards the deli area.
She then drove out through the other set of doors on the east side of the building and was last seen heading south on Pioneer Parkway.
Fay was arrested at her home in Glenwood; she was booked on six counts of reckless endangering, hit-and-run, reckless driving and criminal mischief.
Her car was found abandoned near the intersection of Water and West C streets.
No word from officials on the damage estimate at the store.

..... Gotta be.
I drove into a store awning that my sister’s ex boyfriend had owned.
I was 25, I think, and he slapped her. Chevy nova :)
Glenwood. ‘Nuff said. Surprised it wasn’t Goshen.
love to see in store video on this
$2200 check?? Wow.
I sure hope if she has insurance they do NOT pay for the damage and lost sales as it was a premeditated act of violence. I wonder if and what drugs were involved here.
Nice!
My first car was a 77 Nova. I used it to drive through socialist road side signs during elections. I was 17 at the time lol.
She is apparently bi-polar.
Clean up aisle 3
Don’t you someday want to have a woman president?
Uh, no.
Unless they figure out a way to clone Maggie Thatcher.
She would have been satisfied to bilk the store out of just $2200. Hillary wants much more than that.
Huma is saying that’s an unfair comparison! Jury still out on that one.
43 ?!? Whut ?
I wonder if and what drugs were involved here.
...
Probably drugs that can be bought with gift cards.
Who were the ‘gift cards’ for, to get her this fired up?
It’d be funny if they were for movie stars and imaginary boyfriends.
Here ya go!
