CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Police say a woman trashed three local businesses this past weekend.
Falicia Ford, according to police, can be seen on video inside Amir Mini Market in the West End and also inside Airy Pony Keg off Colerain Avenue, smashing liquor bottles and throwing cash from behind the counter.
Police say shes facing charges in those incidents as well as additional charges in Colerain Township for doing more damage at another store before trying to set it on fire.
It began, police say, late Saturday afternoon when Ford is accused of breaking items inside the Mini Market and Dollar General before taking off. The bill for her damage in those stories is around $600.
A man who works at the market says she is a regular and has never caused any problems until this past weekend.
Police say she then stopped at the Pony Keg and smashed bottles and threw everything in sight onto the ground. Employees and customers stood by, stunned. Shes accused of then going behind the counter, tossing money, lottery tickets, and more booze around.
Employees locked her inside along with a few customers.
Ford can be seen on video realizing shes locked inside and trying to bust her way through the front door. An employee claims she tried to start a fire at that point with a cardboard box and the liquor she spilled.
Police arrived minutes later and put Ford in handcuffs.
One employee estimates the damage done at the Pony Keg will cost around $15,000 to $20,000.
Ford has been charged with criminal damaging and aggravated arson.
Ghost of Carry Nation?.....................
Maybe she was being chased by zombies
Crack.....it’s a helluva drug..............

If Obama had a third daughter...
Appears to be eligible for a Courage Award...
When you need a drink, you need a drink. When you NEED a drink and are short of cash ... well, some people react poorly. Just a guess, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Please, don’t throw me in the briar patch.
Please don’t lock me in the beer store..
“Employees locked her inside along with a few customers.”
“One employee estimates the damage done at the Pony Keg will cost around $15,000 to $20,000.”
That includes all the beer he loaded in his car and what the locked in customers drank...
Have a brother-in-law that used to drive a liquor delivery truck.
He said that according to state law, a store could not take delivery of a partial case, say if one bottle was broken, so the whole case was undeliverable, and his company, being a distributor could not sell any.
He had a very well stocked liquor cabinet...................
Since Florida Man is currently delayed by avian shenanigans, OH woman steps in to fill the void.
Ah...Pony Kegs. That brings back memories of life in greater Cincinnati. "Liquor Store" everywhere else.
Bye Falicia!
And she does it with panache!....................
Some states have ‘ABC Stores’, i.e. Alcohol Beverage Control, run by the state, like a bank with ‘tellers’ behind barred counters, but with liquor.......................
I was wondering when that would come up!........................
She might be venting because she has seen family or friends ruined by alcohol.
Falicia...Really? Surprised its not Falisha, but then, her mother probably already knew someone with that spelling and just wanted to be different.
