Fuquay-Varina, N.C. — Authorities arrested a man whom bystanders say they hit with a frozen turkey when he carjacked a woman's sedan outside a Fuquay-Varina grocery store Sunday.

The man stole money from a BP gas station at Ten-Ten Road and US. Highway 401 shortly before noon, Garner police said. He then crossed Ten-Ten to the parking lot of a Harris Teeter store and approached Irene Moorman Bailey loading groceries in her car.

Witnesses told police that the man started beating Bailey in the face, trying to get her keys.

“The lady was being beaten on the ground. She was lying on the ground and the guy was on top of her – physically hitting her,” shopper Randy Owens said.

Bystanders intervened and hit the man in the head with a frozen turkey that Bailey bought, police said.

Put him on ice — for a long, long time.

I bet Ms. Bailey will really give thanks, for that particular Thanksgiving turkey.

And he was arrested with a “serious head wound.” Those turkeys can really do some damage.

I wouldn’t cry if he’d got a skull fracture, the lowlife.

Not enough time for Arthur Carlson & Herb Tarlek to get airborne for a turkey bombing run. Besides Les Nessman's scooter probably would break down en route.

Well I suppose this is the thread for this missive from my brother in law:

just think...if the Indians had given the Pilgrim Fathers a
donkey instead of a turkey we would all be having a piece of ass for
Thanksgiving

I wasn’t going to bother to pickup the free turkey from my company, since they’re typically not all that great. But if this sort of stuff continues, I’d better head to the grocery store, voucher in hand. Temporarily armed with a baseball bat.

A good friend of mine lives in Fuquay-Varina. I guess I’d better send him this in case he didn’t see it.

Please, someone tell me, how do you pronounce “Fuquay?” I’m not from that area.
