Yesterday, a woman entered a Soho shop on Greene Street "dressed in black, with a black scarf around her face and wearing a cat mask" and used a gun to rob the store. Yes, the cat mask-wearing lady bandit (video), who apparently robbed two other stores while wearing the mask and another store while veiled.
Shanna Spalding, 28, of Queens, was arrested and found with a silver gun. According to the Post (which has a photo of her but she's not wearing the mask), she "sings with a death-metal band called Divine Infamy under her stage name, Purgatory." The paper also made sure to keep up the cat puns: "She allegedly threatened to shoot up the place if she didn't get her paws on the dough."
