Thank Goodness it Wasn’t Plugged In

Daniel Wolfe was walking to the library in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., when a man tried to rob him. The weapon used: an electric guitar. “I was on the phone with 911 when he hit me,” Wolfe said of the incident, which the local newspaper dubbed a “guitarmed robbery attempt.” Wolfe fended off the attack with his arm, which left a gash that required stitches. After a “tug-of-war” over Wolfe’s computer case, the man ran off, but police quickly caught Edward J. Chestnut III, 23, who was held on weapons charges.
