SPRINGFIELD — Employees of the Safeway store on Pioneer Parkway were busy Wednesday morning sweeping up broken glass, repairing and restocking damaged shelves and mopping up tire tracks after a woman allegedly drove her Chevrolet Tahoe through the store just after midnight.
Noella Yvonne Fay, 43, of Glenwood had been at the store about 4 p.m. Tuesday and tried to buy $2,200 worth of gift cards, according to Springfield police. Safeway sells gift cards that can be used at a variety of retailers, including Starbucks, Nordstrom and iTunes.
But when Fay’s check bounced, she was refused the sale, which prompted her to become angry and leave the store, police said.
At 12:23 a.m. Wednesday, Fay allegedly returned and parked her sport utility vehicle in front of the store’s west doors, blocking the entrance. She was yelling about wanting her gift cards, police said.
......
Fay drove the Tahoe down an aisle almost to the back of the store, police said. She then allegedly reversed the SUV back to the front of the aisle, turned the car toward the deli and drove between the aisle ends and the checkstands. She then drove the vehicle out the east doors and into the parking lot, police said.

That's just crazy. Everybody know things cost a lot more at the deli than if you just bought the ingredients yourself. And a Tahoe won't fit going through the checkstands.
Was she racis’?
I think Racer-X.
Perhaps there was a sign that said “Drive Thru Pharmacy” and she did.
Probably resale gift cards for $.30 on the dollar to buy drugs.
SPRINGFIELD?
Was Bart Simpson involved?..............
Crazy Pow-Wow-Chow wench, apparently.
Clean up on aisle 5....6....7....8..............
Looks to bea proud member of Oregon’s sizable lower class sustained by meth.
[Perhaps there was a sign that said “Drive Thru Pharmacy” and she did.]
Hey that’s possible. If that’s true, Trey Gowdy won’t be able to find “intent”.
Meth makes one fat?
Had to be a black woman. No question.
I guess sometimes but she’s got the requisite ugly covered.
Because everybody buys $2200 of gift cards in AUGUST, right?
No, by appearance she is a white woman in her mid-60s.
Actually no, my FRiend. ;)
I searched the name afterwards.
Damn. Yvonne I keyed off of.
Yeah, kinda different name she has there.
I know I do. Every week, in fact.
Yeah, that’s really, really bizarre. Of course, it’s possible that it was a company / school function. If so, I don’t think she’ll be on the committee any more.
I was in a well-known convenience store, and the guy in front of me bought $500 worth of gift cards - at $10 each. They were having to code all of them.
They were for a company give-away. This was about 7 years ago.
