Woman is arrested after for 'stealing a Walmart shopping scooter to find Waffle House Coffee at 5am' | Daily Mail Online

A Tennessee woman was so desperate for a cup of coffee, police say she stole an electric shopping scooter from Walmart and attempted to drive to a Waffle House in the early hours of Friday morning.

Sally Selby, 45, was arrested on charges of theft after she was pulled over by officers on a highway in Crossville, in the midst of a suspected 5am motorized shopping cart joyride.

Less than an hour before, Selby was seen on a surveillance camera entering the Walmart in Obed Plaza, getting into a scooter, and driving around the store with it whilst shopping.

According to police, she was then seen driving the scooter out of the front door after 30 minutes where she conducted a brief test-drive in the parking lot.

Selby then ventured out on Highway 127’s slow lane where she was stopped by police, who had received a call from a motorist who overtook Selby on her alleged jaunt.

The 45-year-old revealed to officers that she was on her way to a nearby Waffle House restaurant to buy a cup of coffee.

When questioned about her transportation, Selby is said to have told officers that the scooter had been built for her by a friend and that someone had ripped the lights off the front.

I'm going to go way, way, WAY out on a limb and suggest that maybe - just perhaps- alcohol was involved.

Another “People of Walmart” story.......

Am I the only one that thinks she really wasn't after Waffle House coffee?

I think she was scooty-pooting after something else -now what, I'm not sure, but...

MHOO JMO

HAHAHAHA Only in TN and only for a WaffleHouse fix! Hey this lady looks like she could have certainly used a cup of coffee.

Thanks CV, it's good to get a giggle here after some of the cases I'm following.

Well, we know the scooter was returned to Walmart... I didn't see it mentioned, but hope someone gave the poor lady a cup of coffee that morning!

...and yes girlhasnoname, a lighthearted tale helps balance all the horror in the world these days

MHOO

I’m surprised this never happened in Florida for a change. Is the Waffle House coffee so good is it worth going to jail for?

Hah! Florida does get blamed for everything.

I personally don't think the coffee is that good but back in the day after a long night out with friends, WH was a must. Their hashbrowns with cheese, onions and ham cured any potential hangover.

Oh, gotta love it!
