You can't say we don't have excitement around here. Yesterday there was some action at the local Walmart. I can just picture these two big cows, one of them too lazy to walk, scrapping over which gets her Big Mac first.

Sgt. Fry keeps unhappy meal from supersizing

It wasn't French fries and McNuggets flying at McDonald's Wednesday afternoon but slaps and insults. An altercation between two women over a shopping cart and aisle space at the Wal-Mart Supercenter restaurant led to police involvement.

Mountain Home Police Sgt. Paul Fry was dispatched to Wal-Mart when an off-duty police sergeant called in to report an altercation.

Fry spoke with the complainant, 60, who stated she was arguing with the suspect, 51, about having a motorized shopping cart inside the McDonald's restaurant at the store.

The complainant contended the suspect would not move her shopping cart to let her by. A brief argument ensued about moving the cart.

The complainant told the suspect that she was not allowed to have any carts there anyway, according to the report. The suspect responded that the complainant could not have a motorized cart there, either, and the complainant told her to "go to hell," according to the report.

The suspect then allegedly slapped the complainant on the left arm, and she began yelling out to call the police.

Fry stated in his report he instructed the two on how to resolve the incident. He added that he could observe no marks on the complainant's arm where she claimed she was hit.

No charges were filed over the incident.
