FOND DU LAC, Wis. - A would-be mugger apologized to his victim, saying he had the wrong guy. The man, 36, pulled a knife on a man unloading groceries outside his home, according to a Fond du Lac Police Department report.

The knife-wielding man asked for money and attempted to punch the younger man, 27, the report said. Another man pulled the would-be mugger away.

The suspect returned later and apologized, saying he mistook him for someone else, the report said. He was arrested Saturday night as he left a convenience store.

He was held in the Fond du Lac County Jail on a tentative charge of disorderly conduct-use of a dangerous weapon. He has not yet been formally charged.

Thats most unexpected.

Definitely..odd.

That made me think of a "MASH" show where "Frank" stole a pearl handled Colt .45lc. He then tried to return it and shot himself in foot....
He said the lesson he learned. "NEVER try to return anything you steal" (something like that)

What a darling.

Admirable. According to the standards of today, that mugger should be released immediately, receive an award, and be photographed with his victim cuddling him in eternal friendship. All it takes today is to say "I'm sorrrrrry."

Sounds like he's going to try and make it sound like he was trying to prank a friend, who looks just like the victim from behind.

He had a knife, not a gun.

 

[oklahoma caveman]

I'm amazed a mod has not closed this thread for not being gun related.

Definitely off topic.
