Pa. Man Steals $50, Flees on Walmart Scooter
UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- Police say a Pennsylvania man in a hospital gown stole $50 from his ex-girlfriend at Wal-Mart, then tried to flee on a store-owned motorized shopping scooter. Thirty-two-year-old Craig David Jr., of Smithfield, was charged Wednesday with robbery and disorderly conduct. State police Cpl. Chuck Frey says David had just been released from a hospital for injuries in a domestic dispute Jan. 1. Frey says David had been hit with a frying pan and table leg.
David was still in a hospital gown Tuesday night when he met an ex-girlfriend who agreed to pay for his prescription medication. Instead, police say he grabbed $50 from her and scooted away. David remained jailed Thursday. He does not have an attorney.
A mere hundred word description, and yet I can envision the entire movie script in my head. In my version the "refuses to play by the rules" cop on the scene commandeers another scooter from a bewildered shopper and gives chase.
