WTF Files: Woman Faces 15 Years In Prison For Cutting Wal-Mart Line


Missouri college student Heather Ellis is facing 15 years in prison for cutting a line at a local Wal-Mart.  Ellis was in the store three years ago with her cousin.  They split up for find the shortest line (haven't we all done that?) and since her cousin was in the shorter line, Heather joined him. That’s when things popped off.  The clerk accused Ellis of cutting the line.  Naturally, they got to arguing and police were called.

Ellis was charged with disturbing the peace, trespassing and assaulting a police officer. After she refused to sign a plea deal, felony charges were filed against her.  Ellis goes on trial on November 15th.

The case has led to threats and protests... and even a direct threat from the KKK.
