PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Police say a man used a potato to pretend he had a gun while trying to rob a Rhode Island business.
WPRI-TV reports (http://bit.ly/QCQan7 ) that
the man entered a convenience store Monday with a potato and shouted:
"Give me the money." A police report says the store manager chased him
off with a baseball bat. Police provided a description of the suspect.
They say officers later went to a laundromat where an employee told them
a man fitting the description came in carrying a potato and yelled: "I
need the money."
The TV station reports that the employee gave the man a $20 bill from a decoy cash register, and he left.
