In the news 05/18/2009

I think this can fall under the "Dumbest Criminals Files." By the description of the dude and how the old guy almost thwarted him, I don't think this dumb ass will be bragging to his friends that the guy in the article is him. Not that I condone stealing and such, but I'd be way embarrassed for getting my ass almost-kicked by a 70-yr-old man:

Couple Battles Robber

Highland Park residents Harry and Foree Hunsicker were the victims of a home invasion Saturday night. But the couple, who are both in their 70s, put up quite a fight.

According to a police report, Harry was entering the back door of his home in the 4500 block of Livingston Avenue at about 7:15 p.m when a robber put a gun to his head and demanded his wallet.

Harry managed to knock the gun away as the robber reached into Harry’s pants pocket for the wallet. The gun, which turned out to be a plastic toy, broke into several pieces when it hit the ground.

The suspect fled with Harry’s wallet but dropped a set of keys. Harry picked them up and showed them to Foree, who had witnessed the whole incident and was trying to call police. That’s when the robber returned for his keys.

During a second struggle, the robber bit Harry on his right hand several times, causing it to bleed. Meanwhile, Foree hit the robber in the head several times with a phone.

The robber eventually fled — with his keys and Harry’s wallet. He was described as black and muscular, standing about 5 feet, 10 inches, and weighing about 200 pounds.
Detective Randy Millican said Wednesday that police had no leads.
