The Dumbasses and the Police Car
 

Two Bellevue Wal-Mart clerks caught on videotape being naughty instead of nice were arrested and fired on Christmas Eve.

Potentially hundreds of last-minute shoppers witnessed the two store clerks intentionally ramming shopping carts into a police cruiser, Bellevue police said.

At 1:06 p.m., the surveillance tape shows the first Wal-Mart employee steering the carts into the rear of the cruiser's driver's side, said Deputy Police Chief John Stacey Jr.

The police said the tape shows that wasn't the end of it.

The clerk came back, looked at it and kicked the dented spot.

About 20 minutes later, another worker with about eight carts "zeroes in on the same spot" and hit the cruiser.

"People were all over the place," Stacey said. It was one of the busiest days of the year at what Stacey jokingly called "the third-largest city in Sarpy County."

Some of those witnesses went to Wal-Mart security and Bellevue police officers, who were working off-duty at the store.

The officers checked the security tape and arrested the men, ages 18 and 21, on suspicion of criminal mischief. One also was booked on suspicion of disorderly conduct, Stacey said.

Sharon Weber, a spokeswoman for Wal-Mart, said the company does not tolerate such behavior.

In her eight years with Wal-Mart, Weber said she had heard of no similar incidents.
