Man holds up gas station in Jersey City with handgun, potato Posted by cdelacru June 30, 2009 09:40AM JERSEY CITY -- A man held up a gas station near the Holland Tunnel wielding a gun in one hand and a potato in the other late Sunday, police said in a report in the Jersey Journal.

After obtaining the money, the robber walked to the nearby Burger King parking lot and drove off in a two-door black vehicle heading east toward the tunnel, police told the Jersey Journal. The robber is described as 30 to 35 years old, of strong build, and having red dreadlocks, the report said. Police did not know why the man was holding a potato, the report said.

kenw 293 Posted June 30, 2009 Unfortunately, the attendant was ill equipped to deal with the attacker. he had no firearm, and his potato slicer permit application has been tied up pending Federal investigation into allegations by his references regarding prior root vegetable crimes he committed as a youth.

Malsua 1,422 Posted June 30, 2009 Maybe he was threatening to put the potato up his tailpipe and call it his rastafarian spud cannon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rscalzo 3 Posted June 30, 2009 Years back we had someone file a complaint that they were assaulted with a hot dog by a street vendor. Tried to keep a straight face while recording that one. Maybe it was the killer chili sauce. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted June 30, 2009 i wonder if he bought that gun with a permit? did he steal that potato from that burger king? maybe they should check if it was a loaded baked potato or french fries.... you know, if they were french fries... they are on the homeland security word ban list....

Chad 3 Posted June 30, 2009 In a related story, there is a bill before the senate that potato's cannot have 'idaho' stamped on them. Nor can there be any clones. If they have idaho OR the idaho state symbol written anywhere on them they will be considered AW's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
