ROBBER PEPPER SPRAYS HIMSELF

A man allegedly walked into a pharmacy in Beaver, West Virginia, on Tuesday wearing full camouflage and a paintball mask. He started spraying pepper spray in an effort to take down employees, then walked into the cloud of pepper spray in front of him. Security footage showed he was affected by his own pepper spray. He staggered out of the business, got into a vehicle and took off. Police investigating the incident were able to identify the suspect as 43-year-old Michael Kevin Meadows, who was arrested for attempted robbery.
* “Nice outfit. Now get in the squad car and shut up.”
* So other than the pepper spray, the disguise not working, and not stealing anything, it went pretty well.
* He walked into his own pepper spray. Sort of like an extreme case of “He who smelt it, dealt it.”
* A pharmacy, huh? What are the odds that drugs would be involved here?
* Beaver, West Virginia, huh? I bet they don’t get kidded about that name at all.
* Then just when he staggered out to his car – bam – the paintballs hit him.
