Lousiana Woman Busted For Having Too Much Strength In Her Thighs

9-1-09

Lisa Newsome, 42, was arrested in Zachary, La., in August, caught trying to smuggle a 24-can case of beer weighing 20 pounds out of a convenience store. The heavyset, housecoat-clad Newsome was squeezing the case of brew between her thighs as she waddled from the cooler toward the front door. When police arrived, Newsome offered to pull up her dress to demonstrate how she carried the beer, but the arresting officer declined the invitation. "I told her, no thanks," said the officer.

The woman explained that the only reason she tried to steal the beer was because she was employed as a prostitute and drank a case of beer daily but business was slow because of the recession and she was out of money. "If I had the money I would have paid for the beer," she told police.
