John Allison, a 41-year-old Potsdam man, was jailed Wednesday after he allegedly masturbated with a stick of pepperoni at a local grocery store – then put the food product back on the shelf for others to enjoy.

…………………
According to New York state police, Allison entered the Hannaford Grocery store at St. Lawrence Plaza, grabbed a stick of pepperoni, and proceeded to rub his penis against it.
After satisfying himself, Allison placed the pepperoni back on the shelf and attempted to exit the store.
A loss prevention officer who witnessed the act over surveillance video called police and provided them with video of what had transpired.
Allison was charged with public lewdness and fourth-degree criminal mischief. He is currently being held in lieu of $1,000 cash bail or $2,000 bond.
Elizabeth Hoen, an 18-year-old Wisconsin woman, was jailed Friday after she allegedly stole three steaks from a local grocery store, then stood half-naked in front of nearby catering company.
……….
According to police, officers were dispatched to 131 W. Thomas in Wausau after witnesses called to report a woman who was naked from the waist down standing near the location.
When officers arrived on the scene, Hoen had already put her pants back on, but fled when she saw officers approaching. A male companion that was standing with Hoen also fled the scene.
Officers, who chased Hoen down, found three steaks in her purse that had been stolen from a nearby grocery store. The male companion that she was with was not captured and hasn’t been identified.
Police determined that the steaks had been stolen when the store’s manager reported that no steaks had been sold that day. Video surveillance later confirmed that Hoen and the male companion had been inside the store’s meat department earlier in the day.
Hoen, who works as a exotic dancer according to her Facebook page, was booked into jail and charged with shoplifting and resisting arrest. She has been arrested twice in the past 3 months on similar charges.
the premiums are going higher and higher, the tax burden is increasing, fuel prices are not going down, making everything cost more. And the regulations by the EPA will certainly spike energy prices, and now, another regulation in Obamacare will make your trips to the grocery store even more expensive
Supermarket owners argue a pending federal food-labeling rule that stems from the new health care law would overburden thousands of grocers and convenience store owners — to the tune of $1 billion in the first year alone.
Store owner Tom Heinen said the industry’s profit margins already are razor thin. “When you incur a significant cost, there is no way that that doesn’t get passed on to the customer in some form,” he said.
The rule stems from an ObamaCare mandate that restaurants provide nutrition information on menus. Most in the restaurant industry were supportive of the idea, but when the FDA decided to extend the provision to also affect thousands of supermarkets and convenience stores, the backlash was swift.
The proposed regulation would require store owners to label prepared, unpackaged foods found in salad bars and food bars, soups and bakery items. Erik Lieberman, regulatory counsel at the Food Marketing Institute, said testing foods for nutritional data will require either expensive software or even more costly off-site laboratory assessments.
Lieberman said failure to get it right comes with stiff penalties: ”If you get it wrong, it’s a federal crime, and you could face jail time and thousands of dollars worth of fines.” (Read More)
Well, what do you expect. the government cannot do anything without screwing it up can they? All in the name of :controlling costs” and helping the little guy. Helping the little guy to what? Get into poverty? God help us because things are just going to get worse.
A citizen with a gun stopped a knife wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt Lake City Smith’s store.
Police say the suspect purchased a knife inside the store and then turned it into a weapon. Smith’s employee Dorothy Espinoza says, “He pulled it out and stood outside the Smiths in the foyer. And just started stabbing people and yelling you killed my people. You killed my people.”

Espinoza says, the knife wielding man seriously injured two people. “There is blood all over. One got stabbed in the stomach and got stabbed in the head and held his hands and got stabbed all over the arms.”
Then, before the suspect could find another victim – a citizen with a gun stopped the madness. “A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from Smith’s grabbed him.”
By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria. Lt. Brian Purvis said, “This was a volatile situation that could have gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time.”
Dozens of other shoppers, who too could have become victims, are also thankful for the gun carrying man. And many, like Danylle Julian, are still in shock from the experience. “Scary actually. Really scary. Five minutes before I walk out to my car. It could have been me.”
Police say right now they have no idea what caused the suspect to go on the dangerous rampage.
So far, police have not released the names of the suspect, the victims or the man who pulled the gun.
This whole ‘Food Desert’ thing is absurd. If government interference doesn’t stop, the rest of the country will be like Detroit, and need a Task Force to construct a Grocery Store. Great thoughts Steve! Looks like Michelle Obama wins a Marxist Moron Award!
