A judge ordered her to pay nearly $6,400 restitution for the damage at the Spirit Shoppe store in Falls City.

“Nobody feels good about this,” said Kevin Pinto, owner of That’s the Spirit Shoppe in Fairfield, adding, “The only retailers that are going to make out on this are the big store chains, like Stop and Shop, the Big Y, Costco, et cetera, which are already open on Sundays anyway.”

Business might be better at the Pomfret Spirit Shoppe, mused Proprietor Bernard Patenaude, if only the cars on Route 169, between Pomfret and Woodstock, Conn., didn't tear by so fast.
