Pig Gets Arrested At Piggly Wiggly: The Athens, Georgia police recently arrested 340-pound Lonneshia Appling for shoplifting and for assaulting employees at a Piggly Wiggly. The 26 year-old stuffed five packages of cheese; eight cans of Coors Light; vegetable oil; chicken wings; and five packages of bacon in her purse before placing one item on the checkout counter. When an employee tried to question her, she pepper-sprayed him and punched him in the face. Cops caught Appling in the parking lot as she argued with two Piggly Wiggly employees. While in police custody, Appling told a cop to add whatever charges he wanted “because she was going to plea bargain and half of the charges would be dropped anyway." She was charged with aggravated assault, theft, simple battery and disorderly conduct.
