A man in Ashland, Kentucky attempted to rob a liquor store last Friday with his head wrapped in duct tape (promptly earning him the creative nickname "Duct Tabe Bandit"). He was chased off by the store's bat-wearing owner. Man that must've hurt.
Shamrock Liquors store manager Bill Steele had some duct tape of his own, but his was wrapped around a wooden club that sent the robber fleeing, according to a report by WSAZ-TV in Huntington, W.Va.

Store employee Craig Miller said he chased the man to the parking lot, tackled him and held him in a choke hold until police arrived. A customer also helped, police said.

Kasey G. Kazee, 24, of Ashland, was charged with first-degree robbery, according to Ashland Police Sgt. Mark McDowell.

Kazee, in an interview with the TV station, denied he was the bandit who robbed the store of two rolls of change. He pleaded not guilty Monday and bond was set at $250,000.

All I have to say is KENTUCKY!  Hello?!  Do I need to explain further? 

Great story Brian...too funny.  I hope "Darwin's Theory" catches up with this idiot sooner than later.

BTW, I noticed you are from Brooklyn.  I spend the best weekend of my life in Manhattan.  Out of any city, I would live there in a second...that is if I were RICH.  Hello?  Big difference from Indianapolis.  Email me with some good NYC stories.  It was love at first sight and has been my all-time favorite city since my first visit in May 2005.  Nothing beats it.
