DURANGO, Colorado (AP) -- Two teenage girls who surprised their neighbors
with homemade cookies late one night were ordered to pay nearly $900 in medical bills for a woman who says she was so startled that she had to go to the hospital.
[...]
Taylor Ostergaard, 17, and Lindsey Jo Zellitti, 18, baked the chocolate chip and sugar cookies one night last July.
They made packages with a half-dozen cookies each and added large red or pink construction-paper hearts that carried the message, "Have a great night."
The notes were signed with their first initials: "Love, The T and L Club."
Then they set off to make their deliveries.
[...]
Wanita Renea Young, 49, said she was at her rural home south of Durango around 10:30 p.m. when she said saw "shadowy figures" outside the house banging repeatedly on her door.
She yelled, "Who's there?" but no one answered, and the figures ran away.
Frightened, she spent the night at her sister's home, then went to the hospital the next morning because she was still shaking and had an upset stomach.
What disturbs me the most is that these girls actually LOST the case and have to shell out $900 for this woman's paranoia.
The woman goes on to say:
"The victory wasn't sweet," Young said. "I'm not gloating about it. I just hope the girls learned a lesson."
I'd like to know what lesson she hopes these girls learned?
- not to make cookies?
- not to go out late at night??
- not to talk to stange crazy neighbors?
- not to vote republican??
Jes wondering.
