SALISBURY, Md. (July 30) - Sherelle Purnell's facial expression went from one of embarrassment to defiance as she puffed a cigarette and lugged a sandwich board sign that declared: "I was caught stealing gas."

The 18-year-old woman on Friday obeyed a court order that required her to stand for three hours in front of Gordy's Tiger Mart on Route 13, the store where surveillance tape recorded Purnell speeding away from a gas pump with $4.52 worth of fuel.

Purnell walked along the convenience shop's grassy storefront, as passing drivers honked car horns and made catcalls. She arrived 90 minutes late to her noon sentence, The (Salisbury) Daily Times reported.

Sherelle Purnell, 18, of Salisbury, Md., walks in front of the Tiger Mart gas station where she was caught stealing.


By the time she showed up, the crowd of people that gathered to watch her had dispersed. "There were parents who came with their children, wanting to teach them a lesson," said Jan Phipps, Tiger Mart store manager.

But a new crowd soon assembled, including some supporters. Andrew Black, who stopped by the gas station on his lunch break, converted an old beer poster into a makeshift sign, protesting high gas prices.


You Said It!




"What is this, the Middle Ages?" said Black, who criticized Purnell's punishment.

Purnell declined to comment Friday on her unusual punishment.

On April 4, Purnell filled her car with 2.78 gallons of fuel, then went into the store and asked a cashier the cost of a pack of cigars, according to court records.

Purnell decided not to buy the cigars. She walked out of the store and drove away without paying for the gas.

Wicomico County District Court Judge D. William Simpson on July 16 ordered Purnell to carry the sign after Tiger Mart's store manager persuaded prosecutors to seek the unconventional punishment.

Yes, finally Beltran(I couldnt stand him) and Gonzales are out. Nomar is in!

Are u kidding me Beltrans stuff is amazing and he is SO young he is going to be one of the leagues best middle relievers in a matter of years.

Contreras has had moments of brilliance this year, along with moments of non brilliance, the thought process is that a change of scenery will help this guy out (hes had alot going on with his family and all), and hes signed for two more years, and the yankees have agreed to pay off his contract.

They are not paying off his contract as show here.........

Cash considerations are cash neutral for 2004, with the White Sox paying the remainder of Loaiza's $4 million deal. The White Sox will pay $6 million per year on Contreras' deal that runs through 2006, with the Yankees picking up $3 million in salary and the remainder of his signing bonus spread out over the length of his contract.

Straight from Whitesox.com, Sox are paying most of his contract.

[Timmy179]

Its still less than they would have payed to renew Loaiza.

[B&M Floorless Wanter]

Nomar will help the Cubs Offence alot he will bring Consistant Hitting a little Power and Great Fielding

[Timmy179]

Wel lhe made two very critical plays today that the cubs would not have made yesterday.

[goldmember]

I don't think I could have seen a better sight when I woke up than Nomar on the front page of the sports page and the news that he was coming to Chicago. We didn't even have to give up a starter (Matt Clement) which really was awesome.

[Do I Know You]

Damn Florida. Today was my first day of school.

[w00dland]

Wow thats amazing, it's a law in wisconsin that public schools cannot start until after labor day.

Of course when two a day practicies start on Monday for football I will no longer have a life...

[The Beast]

^I had my first two a day football practice today, and I wasnt hydrated enough. I started getting tingly in the hands and legs, it really sucked. But I only have one more day of this because I'm only a freshmen.

[w00dland]

Lucky you, I get em for two weeks with off days being Sundays.

-Nick*Who is getting a new football coach this year and is scared to death*

[The Beast]

^ Well, I know what you're talking about. My brother is a senior, starting center. He ends up having 4 a day practice, because he has to come in early for O-line meeting. Then they have 3-a-day practice. I just cant wait til then

[playerplex]

The Cubs will win the wild card while the sux won't make playoffs.

[The Beast]

What's funny about the Cubs is, they were supposed to be the team to beat, and win the world series. Are you kidding me? I doubt the Cubs will even make it to the world series...Don't take it the wrong way but when I saw the Sports Ill. preview for baseball in the spring, I just had to laugh.

[Virtua Tennis]

Alright even being a White Sox fan it's pretty obvious they're gonna have to play a bit better and have the young guys step up, and if they're gonna do it's gonna be without Ordonez and Thomas (and Everrett for now).

[mschulz5]

Sammy just hit a homer, so the game is tied 4-4 in the 7th. Then the Rockies pitcher threw an inside pitch to Ramirez, and the umpire overreacted and threw out Dohman, the Rockies pitcher. Then, after the argument, Clint Hurdle, the Rockies manager, was also thrown out of the game. Crazy Stuff, I tell ya.

[Timmy179]

Yeah, I would like to see how the cubs would do if they had long term injuries to Derrick Lee, Sosa, AND Alou... now that would be ugly.

[SfGaMownz]

They did have long term injurys like the Sox do now so I don't want to hear if if if. Sosa was out a month, Prior 2 months, Wood 2 months, Grudsy 2 months. Also been on the DL, Remliger, Hollandsworth, Goodwin, Gonzo, Mercker, and Ram missed a week with a groin injury and the Cubs are STILL 59-48.

Yes and if you can't already tell Cubs won tonight.

[Do I Know You]

Woohoo! Tigger was set free today!

[rct2wizard360]

Ok, to settle all this Presidential stuff, lets get a good laugh out of it. http://www.jibjab.com . Click the Video On the main page that should have a Picture of KErry And Bush (animated) on it. Enjoy!

[w00dland]

Hahahahaha, I've seen that many times before and love it. A few good things for each canidate.

(Even though the only thing they say about Bush the entire time is how he is "dumb" while they have a million different things for John Kerry.)

[The Beast]

I love how all that John Kerry says to make himself look better, is he won 3 purple hearts. So what? Just because you got nicked up in battle doesnt mean you are going to be a great president.

[DejaVu The Ride]

The video was made to make fun of both candidates, but the funniest thing in the whole video is of Clinton.

[rct2wizard360]

No Kerry just won three Purple Hearts. Hey, but do you get the, "You have more waffles than a house of pancakes?"

[Virtua Tennis]

White Sox pick up another mid season annuall replacemet, Robby Alomar.
Now if only we can get an outfielder for the rest of the year to play for Borchard..
