Your Tuesday Morning Florida Report

A Florida Man is jailed on an armed robbery charge after allegedly trying to steal a Snickers candy bar at knifepoint in a Wawa convenience store. 

A clerk told police that Erick Minto, 49, entered the Largo store late Tuesday night “asking for free food.” Minto, who lives in a Clearwater apartment eight miles from the Wawa, had his request denied by the worker. 

At that point, Minto allegedly pulled out a folding knife, opened it, and pointed the weapon at the clerk while saying, “Don’t make me do something stupid for a Snickers bar.”

  1. A friggin Snickers bar? The amateur asshole. Anyone knows an Almond Joys has a higher "pinching" value. Having said that at least the dude didn't do a Trayvon Skiddle snach.

  5. “Don’t make me do something stupid for a Snickers bar.”........ignoring the fact that that was exactly what he was already in the process of doing.
    I read once upon a time years ago, that the average IQ of the prison population is around 86, and I have, over the years, never seen anything that would disprove that.....

  7. I'll bet the cops were snickering the entire time they were writing up the arrest report.

  8. Right across the road from the Florida Botanical Gardens, where my daughter had her Girl Scout “bridging” ceremony back in June. Pinellas County gets weird after dark.
