WOMAN HITS SELF ON HEAD WITH BOWLING BALL AS PART OF ROBBERY

A 30-year-old woman who works at Pla-Mor Bowling Lanes in Decatur, Georgia, told police she was knocked unconscious with a bowling ball last Thursday by a robber who emptied the company’s safe. However, the surveillance video told a different story. Jamie Gordon said “she had been struck in the head with a bowling ball and all of the money, $2,100, had been stolen out of the safe. She said she did not see her assailant because she was struck from behind and knocked unconscious. Police looked at the security tape, and saw Gordon walk into the office, pick up a red bowling ball with her left hand and a cash drawer with her right. She then proceeded to strike herself twice in the head with the bowling ball. Gordon then dropped to the floor,” where she remained for 13 minutes, waiting for another employee to discover her. After being confronted with the evidence, Gordon sighed and said some of the money was in her car, and the rest she had gambled away in the bowling alley’s slot machines.
* And now she has to take her lumps.
* It would have been easier – and more believable – if she’d claimed to have been knocked out by the fumes from the bowling shoes.
* And now here’s Cat Stevens with “Hard Headed Woman.”
* The first line of the song is, “I’m looking for a Hard Headed Woman” and that works: so were the police.
* Somewhere between the bowling alley and the plan itself, this thing just starts sounding low class, doesn’t it?
* I don’t think you’re going to get Julia Roberts playing her in the movie.
* Movie? What am I saying? The closest thing to a movie for this is the surveillance tape.
