Would-Be Sports Complex Robber Strikes Out
A would-be robber who came up empty at a sports complex struck out for good when he got lost searching for an exit.
The 61-year-old man, armed with what looked like a gun, entered the Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee at 12:45 p.m. Thursday, police said.
He first tried to hold up a woman in an office, but she had no money, according to Capt. Darlene Jenkins. He then tried to mug a man who had a wallet — which turned out empty, Jenkins said.
The frustrated robber tried to flee but got lost and couldn't find the exit, Jenkins said.
People eventually realized the man's gun was fake and held him for police. When authorities arrived, the man complained of chest pains and was taken to a hospital before police brought him to jail.
