Indianapolis Shoplifter Escapes by Throwing Feces

A female shoplifter escaped arrest after robbing a Menards in Indianapolis, Indiana on Friday, but her method of doing so was profoundly gross.

According to the Indianapolis Star, the woman was spotted by workers removing a camera from its packaging and placing it inside her purse. When they tried to confront her, the woman reached down her pants and grabbed a handful of her own feces, hurdling it at the worker trying to stop her and hitting him square in the chest.

The woman then ran out the front door and escaped before the police could arrive. The Indianapolis Metro Police Department arrived on the scene minutes later.

The camera the unidentified woman took was eventually recovered, but after examining the security cameras, the police were unable to identify the poop-throwing shoplifter. According to the Star, they're still searching for her.

This isn't the first time poop has been in the headlines in the past few weeks.

A story popped up the day after the Super Bowl that a Philadelphia Eagles fan inexplicably ate horse poop as part of the celebration after the team defeated the New Englang Patriots to win their first championship.

Modern Family actress Ariel Winter also had a run-in with thrown poop recently when she returned to an AirBnB in early January only to find that a neighborhood kid was responsible for throwing dog poop at the front of the house she was staying in.
