Savannah Morning News

A woman who stole fuel and a bag of Cheetos from a Pooler convenience store claimed she was the wife of Gov. Sonny Perdue when confronted by a clerk, according to police.

The female suspect pumped a little more than 15 gallons of gas, worth $37, into a white Ford Explorer at the Clyde's Market on U.S. 80 near Pooler Parkway shortly after noon Friday, according to a report of the incident.

She then went inside, picked up the Cheetos bag and offered a check and debit card, but both payment modes were declined, police reported.

The clerk asked how the customer would pay, to which the woman said she was the governor's wife, and then started to whisper into her phone, stating she was talking to the FBI, according to the incident report.

The woman then collected her purse from the counter and the Cheetos - valued at $1.29 - before driving off, police reported.

Based on a description given by the clerk, officers later tracked a possible suspect to a residence not far from the gas station, but it was not immediately clear if an arrest had been made.
