A robbery involving Texas Lottery tickets led to a standoff in a public bathroom Tuesday morning in northwest Harris County near Houston.
Sheriff's deputies said a group of armed gunmen stole lottery tickets from a convenience store early Tuesday.
Several hours later, a man returned to the store and tried to cash one of those stolen tickets. Employees told deputies they called for help when the man went to the restroom.
The man was still there when deputies arrived, and employees and customers were told to leave the store for their own safety.
After shouting for the man to come out, authorities waited with weapons drawn for nearly 30 minutes before the man came out with his hands raised and was taken into custody.
It's not known if the man now in custody was one of the suspects in the robbery of the lottery tickets, or if the man had washed his hands before exiting the bathroom.
KHOU
That's a great story Todd. I hope the robbery gets stopped this time.
"It's not known if the man now in custody was one of the suspects in the robbery of the lottery tickets, or if the man had washed his hands before exiting the bathroom."
I was wondering who would be the first to spot my little contribution to the article!
I had to read that last sentence a couple times...you had us going there, Todd.
Sorry, I couldn't resist!
The guy had to go to the bathroom and p*** away his future over some dam scratchers.
LMAO!!!! thanks Todd I needed that laugh
Todd, the way a lot of press releases are written these days, I wasn't really sure if that was your editing or in the original article.
Maybe he was in there playing poker and yelled "I gotta flush." (sorry...groan)
