Shoplifting suspect crushed in trash compactor

Michigan authorities say a shoplifting suspect has died after being crushed in a trash compactor where she was hiding.



The Eaton County sheriff's department said two women fled a
Lansing-area TJ Maxx discount store after spraying a security guard
with Mace. A deputy found one of the women behind a nearby trash
compactor.




Deputies say the woman wouldn't say where the other woman was hiding.


Shortly afterward, authorities got a call about a woman trapped in
the trash compactor. Tyree Monique Tate of Delta Township was pulled
from the machine by rescuers and taken to a hospital, where the
26-year-old later died.




The surviving suspect's name hasn't been released.
