Mar. 17—Authorities say a 23-year-old woman who apparently was upset over a prior purchase trashed a Target store in West St. Paul — throwing merchandise on the floor, smashing display cases, knocking over display stands — during an angry outburst that caused at least $7,000 in damage.

Gaylynn Atlene Bailey of West St. Paul was charged Thursday in Dakota County District Court with felony first-degree criminal damage to property following Tuesday's incident that also caused the store to be evacuated and then shut down so workers could clean up the mess.(snip)

West St. Paul Police Chief Brian Sturgeon said Thursday they believe an issue a few days prior over a purchase at the store set her off.

Police said they were called to the Target at 1750 Robert St. S. around 9:45 a.m. on a report of a woman "trashing" the store. When officers arrived, store management was evacuating customers and staff for their safety.

Officers located Bailey in the electronics department and saw her knocking boxed televisions onto the ground, charges allege. She was ordered to stop and get on the ground, but instead continued to throw items off the shelves.

Officers were able to approach Bailey and take her into custody. As they were escorting her out of the store, she kicked at merchandise and display stands, according to the complaint.

Target employees gave officers store surveillance footage that shows Bailey pouring chocolate sauce, laundry detergent and windshield washer fluid on the floor, breaking glass display cases with a golf club and hand weights and ripping a laptop off a security tether and throwing it on the ground, according to the complaint.

The value of the damaged items was put at $6,988.95, although that could increase as store employees continue to examine merchandise, according to the complaint.

She will be out within a day, Target won’t get a penny from her, and she will have trained them to never annoy a black ghetto woman. Management will issue policy.

Mission Accomplished.

As a result of this incident, Target has announced a greater commitment to equity and inclusion, and has sent a $2,000,000 contribution to Black Lives Matter. I’m joking, but this is basically what Target did after one of their stores was trashed during the George Floyd riots.

She should just move to one of the jusridictions where shoplifting is legal and protected, like San Francisco, and live forever free of buyers remorse.

She thinks that, because of her skin color, she can do what she wants? I’m sick of this attitude that our liberal government allows. Forgive the racist remark

Probably that dirty mop on her head set her off.
