NJ Police Buy 250 Boxes Of Cookies After Neighbor Curses At Girl Scouts
SCOTCH PLAINS, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Police in one New Jersey town purchased hundreds of boxes of Girl Scout cookies from two sisters after they were berated by an angry neighbor.
Natalie Skolar, 12, and her 9-year-old sister, Angelina, were selling cookies on their Scotch Plains street when a woman came out of a home and started cursing at them, the girls' mother, Sandra Crespo, said.
"She just came out screaming. She was saying, 'Nobody wants your f-----g cookies,'" Crespo said. "I can't believe this happened in our neighborhood. I've never seen anything like that happen around here."
Crespo wrote about the incident on Facebook.
An employee of the Fanwood Police Department saw it and asked for an order form.
