Florida Woman Accused of Drinking Wine and Eating Sushi While Driving Motorized Cart Through Target, Orlando Police Say

FLORIDA — A Florida woman was arrested in Orlando after police say she drove a motorized shopping cart through a Target while drinking wine straight from the bottle and eating sushi and cinnamon rolls, according to details shared in a widely circulated social media post summarizing the allegation.

What the Social Media Post Claims Police Alleged

The post describes the incident as an alleged in-store “joyride,” claiming the woman moved through aisles in a motorized cart while consuming food and alcohol inside the store. The account also alleges she helped herself to items as shoppers watched and employees attempted to intervene.

The post frames the moment as something that unfolded publicly, with witnesses reportedly describing the woman as calm and unfazed as the situation escalated.

Where It Happened: Orlando, Florida

The location cited in the post is Orlando, Florida, and it attributes the arrest to Orlando police. The images accompanying the post include a mugshot-style photo and a caption describing the allegation as occurring inside Target during normal business activity.

Because the information provided here comes from an image-based post and not a full official police report in the materials shared, additional details—such as the exact Target location, date, and formal charges—were not confirmed in the images alone.

How Store Incidents Like This Typically Become Criminal Cases

When police respond to incidents inside retail stores, charges can vary depending on what officers and store staff document. Allegations involving:

• Unpaid merchandise or food may be handled as retail theft
• Drinking alcohol inside a store can lead to additional citations depending on local rules
• Refusing to leave or creating a disturbance may prompt trespass or disorderly conduct-related charges

If a motorized cart is involved, store policies and safety concerns can also become part of the investigation—especially if shoppers or staff believe someone could be harmed.

Online Reaction Fueled the Story’s Viral Spread

The post also notes that online reaction was immediate, with commenters framing it as another example of “only in Florida” behavior. Viral stories like this often spread quickly because they combine familiar places—like Target—with unusual alleged behavior that sounds almost unreal.

Still, the core point remains that the woman is accused, and the full facts and any court outcome would depend on official documentation and the legal process.

What Happens Next

If Orlando police or local court records are released publicly, those updates would typically clarify:

• The woman’s name and age (if not already public elsewhere)
• The specific charges filed
• Whether any items were paid for or recovered
• Any scheduled court appearance or bond information
