Dumb

The robber of a convenience store in Lorain, Ohio, wore a hood and scarf, but employees still recognized him — by his voice. They told police that the robber was Erik Castillo, the brother of another employee at the store, Victor Castillo. “They had originally thought it was a joke because they knew the voice when he was saying, ‘Give me the money,’” the responding officer wrote in his report. “They were surprised to see a masked gunman when they turned around.” The robber, they say, frequently visited his brother when he was working. Officers found the robber at a nearby bar, and charged him with aggravated robbery, possession of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
