We’ve heard about a lot of dumb criminals in our day, but being undone by your own toilet paper? Eric Frey stands alone in having achieved that dubious feat. The would-be pizza shop robber, 29, was linked to the crime by toilet paper in his Pennsylvania residence and apprehended by local law enforcement. Uniontown police say Frey tried to rob Michael Maria’s Pizza on Saturday by handing an employee a note written on toilet paper. Its message was simple: “I have a gun. Give me $300.” Police arrived before Frey could leave, after an employee hit a panic button, so they were either very fast or he’s just slow as crap at robbing people. Clearly he’s not very good at it, in any case. Caught in the act, Frey told officers he was forced to commit the robbery by a large, bearded man with a gun. The bearded thug accosted him in a nearby alley and put him up to this, he said … but police searched his apartment and wiped out (har har) that story. When the authorities arrived, they found a newly opened roll of toilet paper, and on it, the pen impression from Frey’s threatening note on an outer sheet. Talk about flushing out the truth … or something. No word if it was one- or two-ply, or brand name or generic TP, but the wannabe crook is now locked up. As are some, but not all of these folks from THG’s Strange But True News Hall of Fame. It’s an eclectic mix of human beings, that much is for certain … Strange But True News Hall of Fame 1.
