The Duct Tape Bandit

Duct Tape BanditAnother stunning example of that world-renowned American ingenuity, or a downward thrust that pushes the depth of the proverbial rock bottom a few inches further towards Earth’s nickel core?

Do the math, do the homework, baby. (I smell a new catch-phrase…)

From the Associated Press last week:

A man who had his head wrapped in duct tape to conceal his identity walked into [Shamrock Liquors in Ashland, KY] last Friday, police said.

Store manager Bill Steele had some duct tape of his own, but his was wrapped around a wooden club that sent the robber fleeing, according to a report by WSAZ-TV in Huntington, W.Va.

Store employee Craig Miller said he chased the man to the parking lot, tackled him and held him in a choke position until police arrived, the station reported. An unidentified customer also helped, police said.

Kasey G. Kazee, 24, was charged with first-degree robbery. Kazee, in an interview with the TV station, denied he was bandit who robbed the store of two rolls of change.

Stumble it!
