CARTERSVILLE, Ga. – At least two people were hurt after four syringes were found hidden in bras, kids pajamas and other items of clothing at a Walmart store in Georgia.

Courtney Worthington, 14, was jabbed by a syringe while she tried on some pajamas her mom bought from the Catersville Walmart store, WXIA-TV reported.

"I felt something stick me in the finger and I was like, 'What is that?'" she said. "That's just unbelievable -- whoever would think of doing that is, like, crazy."

A few days later, Patricia Headrick had to be tested for AIDS and hepatitis after she was stuck by a syringe while opening a packet of bras at the same store.

"Everything started going through my mind," Headrick said. "Whose arm was this in? Whose body? Was this a used needle? Am I going to die based on this being in someone's body? I've been on a roller coaster."

A syringe was also found in the pocket of some pants in the store, then another in a pair of socks.
Walmart said there were no reports of syringes being found in its other stores and promised to investigate.

"If any of our customers were harmed, we will gladly pay for any valid medical expenses," spokeswoman Dianna Gee said.

Headrick said that people from the Walmart store would not talk with her about the situation any more, and that they would not pay for her medical bills relating to the incident.

"Walmart won't let me talk with them anymore. It's out of Walmart's hands now," Headrick said.

According to Headrick, Walmart says they won't pay for preventive treatment to prevent HIV. She says she has to take the medicine for the next seven days, and it's $1,300.

If the investigations finds an employee has put it in there, they will pay. If it is found to be the result of the actions of a random person, they won't pay, Headrick said.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- A southern California woman accused of pepper-spraying video-game shoppers in a Walmart on Black Friday will not face felony charges, prosecutors said.

"We have reviewed the evidence, and made the determination that it did not rise to the level of a felony filing. We referred the case to the City Attorney's office for consideration of misdemeanor charges," said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office Thursday.

The incident at a Walmart in the neighborhood of Porter Ranch made national headlines.

Elizabeth Macias, 32, is accused of dousing fellow shoppers with the irritant as people were grabbing for Xbox video game consoles, police said.

Unbelievable!Somebody who got sprayed should have just beat her ass while it was going on.

KTUL Tulsa OK.

Alert workers stop a woman trying to make meth at Wal-Mart.

Workers at the store near 81^st and Lewis were surprised when they noticed a woman mixing different cleaning supplies into a bottle in the isles. That woman 45-year-old Alisha Halfmoon was, according to witnesses, walking the aisles taking the items she needed, dumping it into a bottle she had, and putting the supplies back on the shelf.

Police were quickly called to the store.

Officers took Halfmoon, and her mixture, to the back of the store to remove any sort of threat to other shoppers.

One officer was slightly injured when he was carrying that bottle out of the store, and some of the mixture spilled out. He is expected to be fine.

Halfmoon was arrested and is being held without bond on one count of endeavoring to manufacture. Police say this is not their first go-around with Halfmoon, having arrested her before on drug charges.

When people get used to something like returning things as walmart does without a receipt or basicaly ripping off places that let them do it, and the policy changes, they feel that they are entitled to it. They tend to get all pissed off and start acting out their real intentions. People with no moral standards are the worst, they believe whatever is given to them is what they deserve. If welfare was reformed you would see alot more of this type of shit. No matter the moral implications or what society will put up with, it still does not make this "right". The moral compass does not point towards true morality it points right back at the person holding the compass.

Oldest greeter ever.

The weirdest shit ever goes on at our wal mart...
last year a ¹⁹⁄₂₀ year old kid, walked into walmart, got a
bottle of jack off the shelf and started drinking in the store.
He was already drunk when he got there.
He left a half bottle somewhere in the store, then
walked up to the front of the store where they had a bird bath
exhibit set up, and he whipped his bid-ness out and peed in
the bird bath....he woke up in jail and had no idea wtf happened
or why he was there. It happened around 3 am.

[Lady Cop]

walmart is prime pedo hunting grounds. people cannot let their kids roam alone!
this is how Adam Walsh was taken from a Sears years ago. some things don't change.
this is one fortunate child who did the right thing.
and thankfully he was an idiot, everyone knows walmart has cameras everywhere.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The man charged with trying to kidnap a 7-year-old girl Wednesday from a west Georgia Wal-Mart was on parole at the time for a voluntary manslaughter conviction in DeKalb County, according to police.

Thomas Andrew Woods, 25, of Austell, was taken into custody and questioned before being arrested Wednesday afternoon, Bremen Police Chief Keith Pesnell told the AJC.

"We're pretty confident we've got the right guy," Pesnell said.

But as he was being led in handcuffs from the police department to a patrol car, Woods told reporters he was the wrong guy.

"I was never there," Woods said.

According to police, Woods started talking to Brittney Baxter in the toy aisle of the store and then grabbed her and put his hand around her mouth. But Brittany kicked and screamed, and the man let her go, police said. Neither she nor her mother, who was nearby in the store, were injured.

"When she told me someone had tried to get her, I just couldn't believe it," Brittney's mother, Georgeann Baxter, told Channel 2 Action News.

Store surveillance cameras captured the incident, and based on the description of the suspect's vehicle, police located Woods a few miles away in Tallapoosa, Pesnell said.

Woods was charged with attempted kidnapping, and additional charges are likely, Pesnell said. The suspect was being held in the Haralson County Jail. GBI agents are assisting with the investigation.

Woods was released in October from the Wheeler Correctional Facility, where he had been since April 2007 following his conviction in DeKalb, according to the state Department of Corrections. According to DeKalb County jail records, Woods, previously of Tucker, was arrested in Oct. 2004, three months after the crime. He was 17 years old at the time.







Brittney Baxter, 7, was not injured in an attempted abduction at a west Georgia Walmart.

I have a friend whose Mother is convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that all walmarts are entry and exit points for aliens, like space aliens, entering and leaving Earth. She's serious about this, now, has and will tell complete strangers. She says when you see someone in Walmart not dressed properly or not acting properly, they're an alien that hasn't been schooled on humans enough to blend in, and thats why Walmart is always chock full of idiots. They're aliens. I don't know whether to step away from her when she starts talking like this, or ask her to tell me more.
