Just something that REALLY happened at the local Target in Stroudsburg, PA (about 30 minutes from me)

Police want to know why a man went for a ride through a department store in Monroe County. He apparently drove into a Target Department store and started crashing into things.

Officers say 52 year old Patrick Tosh of Wilkes-Carre stole a station wagon, and then just before 11 Friday night, they say he smashed through the pharmacy doors of the Target in Stroud Township.

Tosh is accused of driving up and down the main aisles, crashing into displays and merchandise before driving out through the front doors. Police say the inside of the store is trashed, and they are shocked.. "I've been in law enforcement for many years, and you think you've seen everything. And then you realize, you haven't seen anything, when you see something like this," says Stroud Area Police Chief John Baujan.

About 30 employees were inside the building at the time. Police say the workers scattered when everything started to happen. No one was hit by the car and no one was injured.

Police caught Tosh outside in the parking lot. He was charged Saturday afternoon. Tosh says he's not to blame. When asked about the accusations, Tosh said, "Well, the police are wrong. I was looking for arrows. I've got a wounded heart."

Police are still trying to determine a motive. Target officials say the store will be closed until further notice. However, we're told the pharmacy is still open.

The local Target is all destroyed right now. From the pictures on T.V. its a real miss. People may laugh about it, but I think it is scary. 30 employees were in the store and luckly no one was hurt.

Just when you're happily shopping for inexpensive clothing and gifts, someone drives a car through the store. Nothing much to say about that one. If he would have needlessly killed someone he would have faced a vehicular manslaughter felony charge. Idiot.

Well luckly he drove the car in, one hour after the store was closed. There were 30 employees in the store but no one was hurt. If he went in one hour earlier who knows what the results would have been. And he didn't go in slowly either, everything in sight he hit, all the shelfs and all the items are destroyed.

Was he drunk when he did that? It's really good that no one got hurt.

Accoring to WNEP, he stole the car. They believe that the man is a little crazy. Because: Tosh says he's not to blame. When asked about the accusations, Tosh said, "Well, the police are wrong. I was looking for arrows. I've got a wounded heart."

Crazy people in this world today.

What was he thinking? That just sounds a little odd to me.

Earlier I posted that the school is supposed to open tomorrow. What I meant to say was that the STORE, Target is supposed to reopen tomorrow. Sorry if I made you a little confused from that.
