Man Tries to Hold Up a Convenience Store with a Game Controller
Posted in: ps3, Today's Chili, video games, Weird News
What do you do when you’re a criminal and you need cash? You head down to your local convenience store and try to shake it down for some cash, apparently. One man in St. Petersburg, Florida decided to do just that, but he didn’t have money for a gun, so he decided on the next best thing he had: a Sony PlayStation3 controller.
Authorities say that 20 year old Cameron Pittman put the controller in his pocket, and when he got to the store, he pretended that the controller was a gun, and tried to rob the store. Police saw him walk into the store, and since he was a suspect wanted in an earlier robbery elsewhere in town, the officer in question walked into the convenience store to question him. Little did the officer know, he was walking right into Pittman’s robbery attempt.
When the officer confronted Pittman with a real gun and demanded he surrender, he dropped the controller and complied with police.
