Almost a Darwin
Phoenix police are searching for a man who pulled a plastic bag over his head as a disguise and nearly suffocated when he robbed a Circle K on 75th Avenue and Thomas Road on Sept. 19.
The robber walked into the convenience store about 7 a.m. wearing a clear plastic bag over his face.
"It gives the impression, looking at the pictures, that he was using it kind of like a nylon to distort the appearance of his face," said Phoenix Police Silent Witness Sgt. Darren Burch.
He said he would shoot the clerk in the head if he didn't get the money from the register, Burch said. "But he was having problems with his airflow."
Unfortunately, the offender took the bag off his face to catch his rapidly depleting oxygen supply.
Fortunately, this gave the surveillance cameras a very good shot of his face and a manhunt is underway.

Still more intelligent than 2/3 of our exempt staff.
He switched to a plastic bag because the last time he did a stick up with a partner, they shared a pair of panty hose for a disguise.
They got caught, when after fleeing the store in separate directions, they subsequently collided heads and passed out.
They used 'Playtex Control Top' panty hose.
Stupid should be painful!
There is an actual, and hilarious, surveillance camera photo at the link. Worth a click.
