Bungling robber uses debit card during robbery


A would-be armed robber in West Virginia saw his otherwise well-thought out criminal scheme go awry when he got flustered and used his debit card to pay for a soft drink at the store he was trying to rob.
According to police, 33-year-old Shawn Thomas Lester, of Charleston, WV, told the cashier at the convenience store that he had a gun, and demanded all the money in the cash register.
However, things started to go wrong when another customer walked into the store, and the cashier asked Lester to pay for the soft drink.

Flustered, he gave the cashier his debit card. Perhaps realising that this was an error, he tried to disguise his identity by signing the receipt 'John Doe'. He then left the store without getting any money from the register.
Police traced Lester from the debit card, and arrested him. Upon being questioned, he told police that he had only been 'joking' when he said he had a gun and demanded money.
He was charged with armed robbery.
