This happened a little outside of State College, but I loved the headline on this story in today's
Centre Daily Times, the idea of robbing an "adult" store with a "toy" gun:
DUNCANSVILLE, Pa. — Police say two women who tried to rob a central Pennsylvania adult book store with a toy gun didn't fool a clerk, who told them to "get a real gun."
Authorities say 28-year-old Shannon Cheripka, of Glasgow, and 26-year-old Angela Crook, of Coalport, attempted to rob the Adult World store in Duncansville around 1 a.m. Thursday.
Cheripka told police the clerk said, "First, if you're going to rob someone, get a real gun. Second off, you're not getting any money."
Authorities say the clerk chased away the women before police in nearby Logan Township arrested them in a van the clerk had described. The women remained in the Blair County Jail on Friday on robbery and other charges. It was unclear if they had lawyers.
Note Angela's last name -- seems she was merely trying to fulfill her destiny!
