MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - A teenager who smashed his car through the front of a Long Island mall, careening 500 yards past screaming shoppers before blasting through an exit, was apparently angry with an ex-girlfriend who worked there, police said Friday.

The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year.

Repalone said that shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday, Thomas drove through the main glass doors of the Westfield Sunrise Mall in Massapequa. He continued past a JCPenney, passed the mall's central court, knocked over a kiosk and then made two left turns before exiting near a McDonald's.

Dang it...I told him to make two RIGHT TURNS!!!

(Obviously, the type of 20-22 year old who would NEVER drive a mini-van.)

Why am I completely unsurprised that this happened on Long Island? Long Island is like Danville, except that everybody shaves.

Ohh, the comedy...

Witnesses told police he was going fast, but Repalone said it was difficult to determine his rate of speed.

Especially with that Hot Dog On A Stick wedged in the speedometer.

Once outside, Thomas got out of the car

Dude literally drove through a mall and, when he comes out the other side, parks the car.

It all started, Repalone said, because Thomas was upset with a girlfriend who wanted to end their relationship. The woman, who was not identified, apparently worked at the mall.

"He was going in and talk to her. However, his method of doing so obviously was criminal in nature," Repalone said.

"Honey, we need to chat."

Dang it. I tried to enjoy your joke but all I could think was "they stopped making Olds a few years ago".

His attorney, Arthur Edwards, told District Court Judge Norman Janowitz that Thomas has a mental condition and is being treated with prescription drugs, but did not specify the condition. "We believe this matter should be resolved in a non-criminal setting," Edwards told reporters after the proceeding. He did not elaborate.

This is my favorite part. Let me get this straight. He drove THROUGH a mall , Drove out through the other side, caused $60,000 in damage, and his lawyer wants us to resolve it all in a non-criminal manner. WOW! Moron!

this is right where i live!!

'Sounds like a scene from the original Blues Brothers movie (c. 1980).
