Police: Woman, 74, drives car into store

NORWALK, Calif. (UPI) -- An elderly California woman was arrested after she allegedly drove her car into the windows of a convenience store and then tried to buy beer, police said.

Lynne Rice, 74, is accused of driving her 1988 Cadillac into the front windows of Joe's Food Mart, said Lt. Jenny Ha of the Norwalk Sheriff's Station.

Officials said damages from the Sunday crash total about $8,000.

The store owner said after the 112-pound woman crashed into the store she got out of the car and tried to buy a six-pack of Bud.

Rice allegedly shoved the cashier when he refused to make the sale, the Long Beach (Calif.) Press-Telegram reported.

Ha said no injuries were reported in the incident, but Rice received medical treatment for an existing health problem.

Rice was released Sunday from the Norwalk Sheriff's Station on $15,000 bail after being arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, the newspaper said.
