West Va. Crackhead Covered Face With Panties to Rob Store

Guns And Masks Are So 2006

A thief near the a branch campus of West Virginia University and Shepherd University in Martinsville, West Va., attempted to hold up a convenience store last Wednesday while covering his face with a nice pair of blue panties.

"I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried," a local police officer told a newspaper after the attempted robbery.

In addition to wearing the panties over his face, the man used a fake gun which was actually a lighter to try to persuade the cashier to give him money. The cashier thought it was just a joke and refused to give the man money.

The thief then took off in a Jeep, and police stopped the vehicle and charge the man, with among other things, attempted robbery, burglary and driving under the influence.

Police said they found the blue panties after and are using them as evidence.
