The driver of the vehicle, Shinobia Wright, 25, was taken to hospital for injuries sustained while smashing a display case during her violent outburst once she had 'parked' inside the store.
One employee suffered minor injuries when Ms. Wright assaulted them while attempting to gain access to a store room in the rear of the building.
Ms. Wright had entered the store moments before the incident took place demanding a replacement for her damaged phone but her erratic behavior raised employees' suspicions.
One employee interviewed by police officers at the scene was quoted as saying that Ms. Wright 'didn't appear right.'
Police do not suspect drugs or alcohol had any involvement in the incident.
Ms. Wright has been charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault, burglary and criminal mischief according to the Palm Springs Police Department.
a car into a store front every time I had a bad day I would definitely be locked up for life. However, the incident brings back some memories. We were driving, with my mother on the wheel and I must have said something that irritated her as we were on a corner. So, instead of pushing the brake pedal she pushed the gas pedal and we ended up destroying a store front, the car and an expensive
pair of pants I was wearing. Afterwards , my mother was in a shock and when the police arrived I said
that I didn't know what happened (certainly not without a lawyer present). Fortunately nobody was hurt, so they left, insurance covered the damages (except my pants) and eventually we had to buy a new car.
