Most half-decent thieves do whatever they can to hide their identity. Obviously this guy is NOT a half-decent thief . . .
42-year-old Shawn Yoakum pulled a knife and tried to rob a store in Lafayette, Indiana Tuesday morning.
And employees immediately knew who he was . . . because the cashier was Shawn’s BROTHER.
The brother and another employee closed the protective glass around the checkout area. So Shawn left empty handed. Then they called the cops.
Police found Shawn hiding in an alley behind his house a few blocks away. He finally dropped the knife after they tased him and shot him with a beanbag.
He’s facing charges for attempted robbery, resisting arrest, and a third charge for an outstanding warrant.
