NORWALK - A 74-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Sunday after crashing her Cadillac through the front window of a convenience store, authorities said.
Lynne Rice crashed her 1988 Cadillac into the front window of Joe's Food Mart, 10641 E. Imperial Highway, at 6:10 p.m., causing about $8,000 in damage, said Lt. Jenny Ha of the Norwalk Sheriff's Station.
The crash apparently didn't slow her down. After plowing halfway through the store, Rice got out of the car, walked over to the cooler and pulled out a six-pack of Budweiser, said the store owner, who gave only his last name, Awada. "I don't know how she managed to walk," Awada said.
Rice went up to the counter to make her purchase, but when the cashier refused to sell to her, she allegedly pushed him, Awada said. The cashier called 911 and police arrived minutes later.
Police said it all began in May when Linda Urioste's black Labrador Scooby disappeared from her Greenacres home.
The dog was picked up by Animal Care and Control and held for five days before being adopted by Jutta Hollar and her husband.

Hollar said that she and her husband were considering returning the dog until they met with Urioste to discuss the situation.
"But she was very rude and yelled at us and treated us really not very nice," Hollar told WPBF.
She said that they decided that Buddy was staying put when Urioste threatened to sue them.
A few days after the confrontation, Hollar realized that the family's cat, Mitz, was gone from her usual outside spot. Hollar began to wonder where the cat could have gone when she received a phone call from Urioste.

Greenacres police said that Urioste admitted to them that she had the cat and refused to give it back unless the Hollars gave her dog back.
Urioste was arrested and charged with theft and extortion.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A family court judge in New Zealand has had enough with parents giving their children bizarre names here, and did something about it.
Yikes. Some of these names are just inhumane!
Why do people kill people who kill people to show people that to kill people - is bad?
Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said.
Crazy!! I always get all upset when parents give their kids made-up names with whacked out spellings... but that really pales in comparison this this sort of stuff.

Sex Fruit is going on my list for sure.
What exactly is a "sex fruit"? Like, chocolate covered strawberries? That's the only fruit I associate with sex. Hehe.
