Police: Man tried to rob store with game remote

[Chaos Raiden]

Police said a St. Petersburg man attempted to rob a convenience store using a Sony Playstation remote control.

According to reports, Cameron Pittman, 20, hid the game controller in his pocket and pretended it was a gun as he tried to rob the Sun Food Store on 62nd Avenue S.
He was arrested by a police officer who walked into the store in the middle of the robbery, police said.

Pittman was suspected in an earlier restaurant at a Subway restaurant. Police received a tip that Pittman might have been at the store, and so when the officer went inside, he caught Pittman in the middle of the act, police said.

Police said Pittman dropped the remote and gave up.

He is facing charges of strong-arm robbery and violation of probation.

The stupidity of some people can be really amazing sometimes and just downright dumb in others.

there have been dumber robberies. some people don't even bother to pretend to be armed. others are armed but do something stupid like put the gun down where the casher can get to it.
