The Case Of The Victoria’s Secret Chili Bomber Has Been Solved!

by Annie Wazer | 10:30 am, July 31st, 2011

In April, a woman was banned from a Westchester Victoria’s Secret store after a shoplifting incident. As any normal person would, she responded by throwing a vat of chili on a display case and ruined 65 pairs of underwear, racking up $750 worth of damages. And before you ask — no, we didn’t make this story up.

There’s one question that’s just begging to be asked before we can proceed: WHY did she have a vat of chili with her?* Also, did she cook it specifically for the event? Was this a premeditated chili-blitz? Didn’t anyone in the mall find it odd that a woman was shopping with a pot full of chili?

All questions aside, we have big news…the culprit has been apprehended! You see, she had fled the store, and was last spotted in the mall’s parking garage. But now Lauren Jackson, a 19-year-old from Yonkers, has been arrested after returning to the scene of the crime (chili-less) and being recognized by an apparently traumatized employee. She was charged with third-degree criminal mischief, which is a felony offense.

Oh, girl. You do realize that Victoria’s Secret isn’t the only place that sells underwear, right?

    Wow. This is so sad that it’s funny.

    That’s funny. I didn’t read anything about a vat of chili? I read it was a container of chili the young woman had in her hand that she ended up throwing at a display,after being told she was not welcome to shop at the store. That’s a far cry from a “vat.”
    I also didn’t read anything about ”traumatized” employees in the original news story either. Nice job on the
    exageration, Annie.

    You might want to think about changing your “we didn’t make this story up” to, “we made more than half this story up”. Then maybe it might ring true.

    LOL!  Classic media.  If they don’t have a story, they make it up!
