Gregoire, who was governor from 2005 to 2013, packed her
purchases into the car's trunk in a Lowe's home improvement lot,
the police said. As she did she saw a man watching her.
Police said that once she was inside the car, the man opened the
passenger door and started climbing in just as she began backing
out of the space. She hit the gas pedal, the man fell to the
ground and the door slammed shut, police said.
The man, identified as 47-year-old Mark Snodderly, was not
injured.
Police said he then caused a disturbance in the store, adding
that he was cited for disorderly conduct and taken to a hospital
for evaluation.
