Mister Frag 0 Posted September 19, 2002 And to prove that Mr. Smith doesn't have sole rights to that title, here is another story for you: From http://www.katv.com/showstory.hrb?f=n&s=56741&f1=loc Man Arrested After 7th Robbery at Same NLR Store Posted - September 17, 2002 9:34am Little Rock (AP) - For Raymond Williams, seven was not his lucky number. Police say the 38-year-old man robbed the same North Little Rock gas station and convenience store six times during the past three months. Each time, police say he pretended to have a gun by covering a hairbrush, wrench or a stick with a white towel. On Sunday night, Williams' luck ran out. He walked into the convenience store, approached the register with a wrench hidden under the customary towel and left the store with money. But a customer in the store, Eugene Tate, of North Little Rock followed Williams out the door. Tate eventually led police to Williams who was found hiding under a truck. Williams is charged with seven counts of aggravated robbery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
