Rule #1 of robbery don't put down your weapon

Cops: Robber Caught After Putting Gun Down

TAMPA, Fla. -- A Tampa man suspected of armed robbery apparently forgot that the key to a successful armed robbery is hanging on to the gun.

Police said 42-year-old Jerome Haggins, armed with a pistol, entered a Tampa home Saturday night, ordered six men to the ground and demanded they give up their wallets and jewelry.

He then forced them to take off their clothes and noticed that one of the men had not given up his bracelet.

Police said Haggins put his pistol on a table, walked over to the man and snatched the bracelet. But while Haggins was taking the bracelet, police said another victim grabbed the gun and pointed it at Haggins.

The would-be victims held Haggins until police arrived.

Haggins faces multiple charges, including armed robbery. He was being held without bail set.


Held my ass. Should have assumed the douche bag had a second weapon and splattered his tiny brain all over the wall.
