Irate woman destroys perfume display at Ga. store

[December 22, 2009]  ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Athens-Clarke police are looking for a woman who destroyed $1,000 worth of perfume at a store after being told she couldn't return items without a receipt.

The Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday that police said the woman pushed over a large plastic display stand holding several hundred sample-size bottles of perfume that cost $3.50 each.

A clerk at Joy Joy Beauty said they told the customer she couldn't return several items Saturday afternoon because she didn't have a receipt.

They said the display stand broke after the woman pushed it and every bottle of perfume smashed against the floor as she stormed out of the store and drove away in a green van.
