Hoster defrauded multiple Home Depot and Lowe’s Home Improvement stores in Maine, cheating the retailers out of more than $51,000. In one instance, officials say Hoster bought a $439 cordless finish nailer kit, paying just $19.98 by scanning a price code for trimmer line. In another example, he scanned a code for an $11.36 chrome-plated plastic tailpiece despite purchasing a powered drain cleaner valued at $429.

Wouldn't a cucumber be a better weapon than a watermellon? Or if you are going to throw it, a tomato or an orange. Watermellons are about the worst choice.

Cucumber makes a better sex toy....I mean come (heheh) on, look at the second syllable of the word. You get hit with a cucumber it's similar to a slap in the face. A watermelon can do some damage if you get close enough to smash it on someone's head. Easy trip to the tent for concussion protocol.

Now the clear winner of the fruit/veg as weapons debate has to be the coconut.

This is not the type of local news story I like, but it is a good deal north of me. Lewiston is the same city where the mass shooting happened.

What's really odd about this story is Lewiston is where many Somalis have settled, as well as native Americans. And it's the highest population of French speaking people per-capita outside St. Martin Parish, Louisiana. So it's about the most diverse place in the state. Not where you'd expect your standard-issue racist to be hanging out.


"Ouellette allegedly called the victim a racial epithet and assaulted him by throwing a pumpkin at his head."
