Good for a laugh

Okay, this robbery/attempted robbery happened less than a mile from my house. This guy is hilariously stupid. He denies he did anything. He is being called the "Duct Tape Bandit." Check it out:

The video of him is priceless! The funny stuff starts at about 2:46. [rofl]

Hubby says they'll probably show the edited version later this evening. If they post it, I'll add the other link here.

::snort:: Umm.... I was waiting for a "shout out" or something... that's pretty good. I'll bet he'll be famous amongst his friends for the rest of his life! "Dude, you were on TV!!!" hehehe ::snort::

ETA: I forgot to add ... that's really sad... seriously, robbing a liq. store and then denying it like that... he must have some serious issue, be it drugs or something to think he can get away with that. Sad. Really.

Okay, they've now updated the video... link is the same. The new video includes the actual news footage/comments that aired on TV.

Oh yeah, I meant to post the article for those of you who just wanted to read about it.

Here ya go:

Duct Tape Bandit Robs Liquor Store--WSAZ.com--Robbery is a serious problem for retail stores across our region. But the employees of Shamrock Liquors in Ashland can't stop laughing about what happened last Friday at the store along 13th street.

Police say Kasey Kazee walked in to the store with duct tape wrapped around his head to conceal his face.


Fortunately, store manager Bill Steele had some duct tape of his own. Steel had a wooden club wrapped with duct tape that eventually sent the suspect fleeing the store.

Store employee Craig Miller says he chased Kazee to the parking lot, tackled him and held him in a choke positiion until police arrived. An unidentified customer also helped.

Kazee said in a jailhouse interview today police got the wrong man and Kazee says he has no memory of going in to the liquor store. He also says he has no memory of police removing the duct tape.

We asked Kazee how he could deny being the duct tape bandit even though police have photos showing Kazee with the duct tape on and then a photo where Kazee's face is revealed.

Kazee looked straight at the camera and said, "Do I look like the duct tape bandit to you?"

Miller says Kazee also had a t-shirt pulled up around his head during the robbery attempt. Miller says it reminded him of the "Cornholio" character from the "Beavis and Butthead" cartoon.

Watch Newschannel 3 for the complete story and watch for the online version here on our web channel Monday evening.

Steele says Kazee did get away with two rolls of change before Steele could grab his club. Police found much of that change in the parking lot.
