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.

 

According to the report, the robber entered the Gulf station demanding money. 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.

great, now they are going to outlaw potatoes. :roll:

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.

I can just imagine the Wanted Poster....

 

Maybe he was threatening to put the potato up his tailpipe and call it his rastafarian spud cannon.

If they catch him, I hope they fry him.

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.

If they catch him, I hope they fry him.

 

I hope they put him in the slap chop with onion and peppers

 

mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

home fries....

I hope they put him in the slap chop with onion and peppers

Haha, you had to go there

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....

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.

No one has brought up a spud gun yet.

ahhhhh spud guns! Love those things!

I hope they put him in the slap chop with onion and peppers

 

mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

home fries....

 

You're going to love my nuts!

the potato was his side kick..

side kick..

Side dish??

"Hand over the money or the potato gets it!!!"

Breaking news on that story....

 

The perp was tracked later after buying bootleg sour cream and chives
