GIRL SCOUT COOKIE CAPER: UPDATE

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 14, 2005 06:05 PM

Remember this little story of a Girl Scout and her dad getting hassled by N.Y. cops for selling cookies?

The N.Y. Post has a nice follow-up:

March 14, 2005 — A “cookie angel” has bought 1,000 boxes of a Long Island Girl Scout’s goodies in hopes of sweetening her recent unpleasant encounter with the NYPD.

“Gracemarie Louis seems like a really nice girl who got caught in a situation,” said Manhattan investment banker Ernie Dahlman, 35, of Dahlman Rose & Co.

He’s donating the $3,500 worth of cookies to the Island Harvest food program — on behalf of New York’s Finest.

The police officer who ticketed Gracemarie’s dad, Hoi Louis, for helping sell cookies on a Brooklyn street without a license was just doing his job, Dahlman reasoned.

“There is no cop out there who says, ‘I’m going to bust this guy for selling Girl Scout cookies,’ ” he said. “If I can show support of the cops and of a nice girl, that’s great.”

“That’s amazing!” said a stunned Gracemarie when given the good news yesterday while delivering yet more cookies in her Bethpage neighborhood.

“That beats all my records.”

Sweet.

Speaking of which, we just had our Girl Scout cookies delivered yesterday. Ordered five boxes:

2 of these (our box calls them “Tagalongs”)
1 of these
1 of these
And gotta have the Thin Mints
