Titusville, Florida - A woman trying to buy a birthday card called police when she was accidentally barricaded inside a Titusville, Florida CVS store. Lillian Rimmel says she stopped at the CVS at 9:50 p.m. Friday to make a quick purchase, unaware the store was about to close.

As she walked toward the check out just after 10 p.m., she triggered a motion sensor alarm and found herself barricaded inside. A metal security gate blocked the front entrance as sirens blared. Rimmell was worried someone would mistake her for a burglar, so she stood in front of a security camera and dialed police.

That's embarrassing and scary at the same time.

Man CVS is really upgraded on security, it's too bad they can't do anything about the panhandlers asking for change outside the store.

I hope she's okay.

I am surprised the store didn't have a loudspeaker holler out "We are closing in 15 minutes. "

^^You and me both!

It is an embarrassing situation to be in. Wouldn't have somebody told her it was closing?? What this store is lacking is common sense. You just don't lock your own customer in your store, even accidentally.

Even if they did that the customer came in with 10 minutes left. An employee should have seen her come in though and tell her they were closing. At any CVS I've been to the checkout counter is near the entrance.
