Oh My: Powder Assailant; Interesting Fashion Choice

We report the wacky police news from the region.

 

When I'm unhappy with prices at a store, I simply don't shop there. This is another option.

A customer at the Natick Mall caused quite a commotion this week when she threw a powdery substance from inside her pocketbook at a cosmetics store clerk. Just prior to the powder assault, the customer had been expressing her displeasure about the cost of an item. Apparently, the powder caused some sort of adverse reaction on the clerk's skin; this resulted in emergency officials calling for a hazardous materials response. (The powder was harmless.) 

This isn't so bad: there are other fashion choices I find more objectionable. Like the hats with the brims that don't bend.

Residents called Northborough police this week to report that a man was walking down the street wearing a trash bag as a shirt. (It wasn't raining.)

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

An elderly Westborough resident asked for a police assistance in getting her pocketbook returned from her husband. He reportedly took it from her because he felt she was spending too much money. 

Those little suckers hurt.

Ever been hit by a paintball when you aren't prepared for it? I have. And so, apparently, has a man who was walking down Route 140 in Milford this week. The man said he was shot by a car that passed him. Police in a neighboring town pulled over the car.
