Another "Darwin Award" Winner
Woman dies hiding from police
Posted: Aug 19, 2008 01:32 PM PDT A suspected shoplifter makes a deadly decision trying to hide from police. Twenty-six year-old Tyree Tate of Delta Township died after being crushed in an industrial-sized trash compactor. It happened outside the Goodwill store on Saginaw Highway. That's across the street from the Lansing mall. It all started Monday morning with a trip to the Lansing mall. Police say Tyree Tate and her younger sister walked out of TJ Maxx with two bags full of children's clothing they never paid for. But when a security guard tried to stop them... Fredrick Mcphail, Eaton County Undersheriff: "The shoplifters had sprayed the security guard in the face with mace or pepper spray, and fled across the mall parking lot." Police say the women crossed Saginaw highway and ran behind the Goodwill store where deputies found Tate's sister crouching next to this trash compactor. Fredrick Mcphail: "when the suspect saw the deputy, she ran toward Meijer and was apprehended by that deputy without incident." ...but she wouldn't tell officers where they could find her sister. In a matter of minutes, an employee here at the goodwill store, came and pushed the start button on the trash compactor that's when they realized, someone was inside. Fredrick Mcphail: "whether they heard a scream or could see something, or what I'm not sure. But they were able to stop the process and call for help." Rescuers pulled the woman from the machine. She died hours later at the hospital. Fredrick Mcphail: "It's certainly a tragedy for the family." A family now left mourning a punishment that didn't fit the crime. |
Cool...
At least she won't be stealin' from the man, no mo'... |

Point of fact: She can't have already had children to truly qualify for the Darwin Award.
Here is hoping she qualifies! |

thus preventing the spread of said stupidity, and improving the breed can't do that if you already spawned offspring so in short you gotta croak in a stupid way you can't have kids can't have eggs or sperm on ice for later use |
What was she thinking? Didn't she ever see Star Wars? You never know what is lurking in those big trash compactors. :D

mourning..Nah
their pissed because they have to wear the same jeans Tyree stole from Target last week. Rika |
Crushed in a trash compactor. Hmmm. I wonder if her last thoughts were, "I wish I had R2D2".
|
Who the hell steals from TJ Max? Sheesh, set your sights a bit higher.
|
They didn't say what Tyree's sister's name is, probably LaTaweesha.
Any bets they sue the mall because they should have made it harder to get into the compactor? |
