Pamela Strand pleaded guilty in May.
Four counts. One for each store.
The judge was a woman named Margaret Hollis. Sixty-four. Thirty years on the bench in St. Louis County.
She sentenced Pamela to two hundred hours of community service.
At Special Olympics Minnesota. The Duluth chapter.
Working with athletes with intellectual disabilities.
“You picked people you thought couldn’t defend themselves,” Judge Hollis said from the bench. “So you’re going to spend two hundred hours with people who’ve been defending themselves their whole lives. And you’re going to learn their names.”
But that’s not the part I want to tell you about.
After Pamela went into the manager’s office with the police officer, the crowd started to drift away.
The phones went down. People went back to shopping.
Gloria from produce got another mop. Jade got a broom. They started cleaning up the glass.
