Would-Be Robber Points Uncovered Finger, Not Gun

POSTED: 10:53 a.m. EDT June 25, 2003

NEILLSVILLE, Wis. -- Police in Neillsville say he wasn't the brightest robbery suspect they've ever captured.

A masked man allegedly tried to rob a pharmacy armed only with his fingers. Police say the man formed his gloved hand into the shape of a gun during the alleged stickup.

A witness says the suspect didn't bother to hide his pointed finger under a jacket or anything. A pharmacy owner wasn't going to stand for it and wrestled with the suspect and ripped off his mask.


The accused would-be robber ran away and was arrested a short time later at a friend's house.

How does that NOT sound like a robber in Wisconsin.... They aren't the brightest crayon in the box....I think growing up around Cow Manure probably might have something to do with that!
