an wearing cooler robs store

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A Martinez man who police say tried to rob a convenience store Friday morning with a cooler on his head is instead cooling his heels in jail. ichael Steven Pavlich, 48, of the 4400 block of Pierwood Way, was arrested and charged with criminal attempted armed robbery shortly after police said he tried to rob the Circle K store at 216 Furys Ferry Road about 8:30 a.m., according to a Richmond County Sheriff's Office report.

Deputies said Mr. Pavlich entered the store and took a plastic foam cooler, punched a hole in it so he could see, placed it on his head and approached the counter. The clerk said she heard him say something but could not make out the words because of the cooler.

A witness told police a man came around the counter and said something that sounded like "everybody get your hands up." When he saw that the man was armed with only a pellet pistol, he took it from him and pushed him out of the store, the report stated.

Pity they didn't have an armed security guard, he COULD have been a contender!

The guy is award-winning stupid. I'm guessing once he gets out of prison, he'll appear on this site again.
