   The scenes are retail establishments.  The subjects are two people who   
   have earned a place in Anna's News Clippings items.

   Whitney Leigh McWhite and her ex were having words about her sport   
   utility vehicle's car radio in the Greer, South Carolina, Walmart's   
   car park.  He decided to find his own way home so opened the back of   
   the SUV to remove his bags.  At least five onlookers saw her clobber   
   him in the head with a tyre iron and pack him into the boot, where   
   he probably couldn't hear the radio, let alone touch its   
   controls, as she drove off.  McWhite hadn't made it far before the   
   police stopped her.  She helped to free her ex but maintained that no   
   physical assault had taken place.   
     Among the charges against her are kidnapping, driving under a   
   suspended licence, and using a licence plate on the wrong vehicle.

     He winces, 'Lying witch hit me!'   
      
      
   Authorities heard yelling at a supermarket near the scene   
   of a bank robbery they were investigating in Dover, New Hampshire.   
   Entering the supermarket, they saw a man's legs dangling above the   
   seafood and deli area.  The legs withdrew while officers were clearing   
   the premises, then their owner fell partially through the suspended   
   ceiling above the refrigerated meats.   
     Once officers coaxed 30-year-old Eric Lombardi down, he explained   
   that he had panicked when seeing police cruisers, since he was on bail   
   in another town.  Lombardi has been charged with criminal mischief,   
   trespassing, and resisting arrest.  And the bank robber was arrested   
   later in the day.

     Eric Lombardi = ID _real_ crimbo!
