I would put this news tidbit under the “Truth is stranger than…” category, but the use of coffee as a weapon has become so prevalent that it no longer seems stranger than strange. This time, a robber used a pot of coffee to stun a store clerk so that the robber could make off with cash from the store’s register.
The store surveillance video shows what happened as the man looked like he was going to pay for the coffee. After watching the surveillance tape for the first time, Steffen Yates tells 9 News, “As I’m getting ready to close the drawer, there’s some noise or something. I can see the coffee aimed at me. I did an immediate assessment and tried to turn away before it could hit me.”
The coffee hit Yates in the neck, raising blisters in what appears to be a second-degree burn. The news story is asking for help in solving this crime that occurred at a Speedway station on Glenway Ave. in Green Township, Ohio.
