So this happened.
A Portland, Ore. ice cream shop was robbed by a man holding a syringe he claimed was full of AIDS.
According to the Huffington Post:
It happened Tuesday night at a Baskin-Robbins in downtown Portland. Katharine Pepin, who was working there that evening, told police that a man in brightly colored clothing entered the store at closing time and pulled out a hypodermic needle, claiming it was infected.
“Some guy just walked in and said, ‘This is a robbery. This is a needle full of AIDS,’ and then ‘Open the cash drawer,’ and so I did,” Pepin, 19, told KATU. She said whatever was in the syringe looked like blood.
The suspect got away with an undisclosed amount of money. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Police describe the suspect as a white man in his 20s, 5 feet 3 inches tall and skinny with short brown hair and glasses.
Sadly, this was the second time in a week that the store was robbed. Because…ice cream.
