Suzanne Hannah is a Liar Who Likes to Waste Law Enforcement’s Time
So you’re a 69-year-old with some time on her hands, a broken moral compass, and you’re looking for something to do after watching Anderson Cooper. What do you do? Why, travel to Walmart and file a false report of course!
From WYFF:
GREENVILLE, S.C. — The latest in a string of false police reports involves a 69-year-old woman deputies say lied about having her purse snatched.
Suzanne Hannah, 69, of Greenville, is charged with filing a false police report of a felony.
Hannah originally reported that she went shopping at the Walmart at 1452 Woodruff Rd shortly before 11:30 p.m. on Jan 18.
Hannah said when she left the store, she was approached by a dark-skinned man who grabbed her purse and fled on foot. Hannah also said that a bystander chased the “purse snatcher” but was unable to catch up to the man.
Investigators said they learned that Hannah waited almost 24 hours to report the alleged incident, even though she claimed $1600 in cash and a bank card had been stolen. Video surveillance from the business showed that Hannah was not at the business when the alleged incident occurred, deputies said.
Investigators said that they also determined through store records that Hannah never purchased the items she reported going to the store to buy.
She’s out on $2,500 bond. Authorities don’t know what her motive was for filing this report but my wife (who is my authority) thinks she was trying to squeeze money out of Walmart with a sob story. I personally blame the malignant influence of Anderson Cooper, but until we can verify her slavish devotion to the media darling we just can’t be sure.
This is yet another false report in the area which is a huge waste of time and resources. On the other hand, it’s kind of nice to live in an area where false reports of crime are our main concern.
Stolen Forklift Used to Steal Wachovia ATM
If you’re going to steal an entire ATM, you’re going to need some heavy machinery. And if you’re a thief, why buy a forklift when you can just steal one?
Greenville County deputies say thieves stole a forklift from a construction site near the Shoppes at Green Ridge and used it to pry a Wachovia ATM right out of the ground.
The robbery happened at the Wachovia Bank at 1174 Woodruff Road just before 5 a.m.
Deputies said that when they arrived, they found a forklift and broken cables, but no ATM. They said that surveillance video from the bank is being looked at in an effort to identify the thieves.
The bank was closed today for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
The thieves loaded the cash machine onto a vehicle and fled the scene, but not before triggering an alarm that alerted deputies to the crime. No suspects have been identified at this time.
