Lemonade Stand Robbed

Posted by Miss Cellania in Crime & Law on June 18, 2008 at 10:32 am


A group of children in Terra Haute, Indiana were robbed of $17.50 at their lemonade stand. 18-year-old Steven Tryon grabbed the money from Dominique Morefield’s hand and ran off. Morefield chased the thief while calling police on her cell phone.

Tryon ran into a house down the street where police spent more than 45 minutes trying to coax him out. When he finally came out, police arrested him. The kids were able to identify him because they said he came to their street corner earlier that same day and tried to sell them a knife.

Tryon was taken to the Vigo County Jail. He’s due in court Tuesday. He is facing a felony robbery charge.

The kids say they will continue to sell lemonade, with adult supervision. Link -via J-Walk Blog

    Yeah, I bet Tyron is legally considered mentally handicapped. Hopefully he gets the death penalty.

    What the hell?

    This is why it makes me nervous when the neighbors' kids try to sell lemonade.

    Love you both Anthony and Christophe.

    That's what makes you nervous? You should probably worry about the Rohypnol they're putting in the lemonade. Crazy kids.

    A definite WTF story. Tryon, maybe the most dumbest criminal to date.

    I wonder if he'll be allowed to wear his bicycle helmet during execution, or if that will interfere.

    Man, what special kind of ass-pounding do you suppose he's going to take in prison? All well-deserved too, loser.
