Man accused of trying to rob store with empty cheesecake box
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Charleston police said a man tried to rob a movie rental store with an unusual weapon - an empty cheesecake box. Earlier this week, the suspect placed the box on the counter of the Movie Gallery with a note saying it contained a bomb. He told the clerk the bomb would be detonated remotely if he wasn't given cash.
The clerk refused and the suspect fled.
Police arrested 43-year-old Paul Parrish II of Charleston on Wednesday.
Sgt. Aaron James said Parrish allegedly confessed after he was shown a store video of the attempted robbery. Parrish allegedly told police he needed money for gas and cigarettes.
Parrish is charged with first-degree robbery. He's being held at South Central Regional Jail and doesn't yet have an attorney.

He needed money for gas and cigs? He should have bought gas and cigs with the money he bought the cheesecake with!
