Woman Arrested For Dumping Chili All Over Victoria's Secret Panties

The great chili caper has finally come to an end: a Yonkers woman was arrested at a White Plains Victoria Secret yesterday for dumping a vat of chili on a panties display in a fit of fiery anger.

19-year-old Lauren Jackson has been a wanted woman ever since the chili-tossing incident way back in April, when, following a dispute over allegations of shoplifting, she poured a container of chili across 65 pairs of panties, ruining $750 worth of merchandise. Earlier this week, Jackson returned to the scene of the crime and was promptly busted by an employee who remembered her from the pungent prior incident. She was charged with third-degree criminal mischief, which is a felony offense. If convicted, it could be the harshest underwear-related punishment since three students were expelled from the University of Mississippi after a devastating campus-wide panty raid caused incalculable damage to undergraduate unmentionables.

Victoria's secret needs to use a very narrow entryway door to prevent fat women from shopping there. Society needs to preserve the integrity of sexy lingeree

Don't worry. Two years old Naaman Amer, from the city of Nablus, West Bank enjoys it.

Okay, a little clarification would help here.

'Chili' - would that be whole chilis like in the photo?
'Chili' - would that be like a canister of chili powder?
'Chili' - would that be the stuff you eat in a bowl and make in a crock pot?
'Chili' - would that be a jar of pickled chili peppers?

AND - the article says she had a 'vat' of chili and also claimed it was a 'container' of chili. A vat is a huge vessel such as a 'tub', 'cistern' or 'barrel'. The woman would have had to roll the vat into the store and I think she would have been easily spotted before making her way to the panties, no?

Who writes this stuff? Do a little bit of research so your article is a bit clearer to understand. sheesh

I'm having a hard time with this picture. A 19-year old starts wandering a Victoria's Secret store with a rather large cup of chili in hand(s). As she's eating said chili, she begins shoplifting (most likely with one hand given the chili she's holding), by stuffing panties down her pants or something like that? Some poor store clerk becomes all the wiser, and calls her out on the whole shoplifting situation. Then, this chili holding scofflaw calls her bluff and proceeds to pour that chili all over 65 pairs of panties, before fleeing the scene? Then, a few months later, she comes back all non-chalantly like nothing ever happened? Did I read that right?
