ST. LOUIS (AP/KMOX) — St. Louis metro police are searching for a would-be robber whose crime was thwarted when his gun got stuck in his pants.
Police say a gunman walked into a Family Dollar store in the 8900 block of Halls Ferry Road Thursday afternoon and ordered an employee to give him the cash register. The worker said he couldn't, so the suspect reached for a firearm from the waistband of his jeans.
Problem is, the gun was stuck. Unable to pull out the weapon, the man ran away without getting any money.
Here's the suspect description: Unknown Black Male, 5`8" to 5`10," dark complexion, white thermal shirt covering the lower portion of his face, grey/black coat, stone washed blue jeans, and dark-colored shoes
