Woman trying to buy birthday card trapped inside CVS

(AP) — A woman trying to buy a birthday card called police when she was accidentally barricaded inside a CVS store in central Florida.

A metal security gate blocked the front entrance as sirens blared.

Florida Today (https://tinyurl.com/ny5vksj) reports Rimmell was worried someone would mistake her for a burglar, so she stood in front of a security camera and dialed police.

A store manager said she couldn't comment, but CVS spokesman Mike DeAngelis said in an email Monday that the company "sincerely apologizes" for the incident.
