Nearly everybody is wearing a face mask these days, following recommendations to slow the spread of the coronavirus but I don’t know about you but there are times when I forget mine. I know that seems irresponsible but I have a cloth mask that sometimes when I switch outfits I leave it in my previous jacket. Well what happens when you forget your mask and you need to rob your local gas station?
Well that didn't stop two men who decided to use hollowed-out watermelons as the perfect way to remain unidentified while committing a crime.
These two boneheads from Louisa, Virginia, donned the hollowed-out melons with holes cut out for the eyes as they entered local gas station and convenience store Sheetz and made off with some goodies on May 6.
The Louisa Police Department are asking the public for help in identifying the suspects in a Facebook post which told people to reference the case "MELON-HEADS".
On May 16, they updated the post with news that an arrest had been made.
20-year-old Justin Rogers was arrested as one of the individuals involved in the heist. He faces charges of misdemeanor larceny of alcohol, misdemeanor possession of alcohol by an underage person, and felony prohibition of wearing a mask/face-covering in public.
At the moment there is no word on if the other man has been arrested. I just really want to know how they caught the first guy. Also how did they get the melons not to fall off while robbing? I really wish we could see the footage.
