24-year-old man robs three kids of their go-kart at gunpoint

Go-karts are fun at any age, but don't rob children to get a turn!

Three kids in St. Louis were outside riding and playing with their go-kart when they were approached by 24-year-old Antonio Woods who wanted a turn for himself.

Hey we can understand that go-karts can be fun at any age, but Antonio, we have to tell you, pulling a gun on these kids wasn't the best way to go about getting a turn!

In sounds unbelievable, but Woods approached the kids, aged four, six, and nine. He pointed a gun at the nine-year-old, DEMANDING that they give up the go-kart.

The kids relented, and Woods got in the kart and took off. Luckily, the kids' grandmother saw the robbery happen, and she immediately called the cops. A short chase ensued before Woods crashed into a tree, after which he was apprehended by the authorities.

According to KSDK, the kids were able to get their go-kart back, but there was no word on what kind of shape it was in after the crash.

Woods is currently facing a charge for robbery, but we wouldn't be surprised if the courts tack on a charge for pulling a gun on the kids, which they absolutely should.
