Robbery is a serious problem for retail stores across our region. But the employees of Shamrock Liquors in Ashland, Kentucky, can't stop laughing about what happened last Friday at the store along 13th street.
Police say Kasey Kazee walked in to the store with duct tape wrapped around his head to conceal his face.
Fortunately, store manager Bill Steele had some duct tape of his own. Steel had a wooden club wrapped with duct tape that eventually sent the suspect fleeing the store.
Store employee Craig Miller says he chased Kazee to the parking lot, tackled him and held him in a choke positiion until police arrived. An unidentified customer also helped.
Kazee said in a jailhouse interview today police got the wrong man and Kazee says he has no memory of going in to the liquor store. He also says he has no memory of police removing the duct tape.
We asked Kazee how he could deny being the duct tape bandit even though police have photos showing Kazee with the duct tape on and then a photo where Kazee's face is revealed.
Kazee looked straight at the camera and said, "Do I look like the duct tape bandit to you?"
Miller says Kazee also had a t-shirt pulled up around his head during the robbery attempt. Miller says it reminded him of the "Cornholio" character from the "Beavis and Butthead" cartoon.
Steele says Kazee did get away with two rolls of change before Steele could grab his club. Police found much of that change in the parking lot.
Glen Beck?
The inventor of “RamaHanuKwanzMas” ... no way!?!
Guess he also has no memory why his eye brows are stuck to a wad of duct tape.
The things Crack will make you do!
Did you have a chance to watch the video? “Duct-tape-man-meet-duct-tape-bat.” Really too funny.
Hehehe - Glen is always wrapping his head in duct tape - just makes me wonder... :-)
Miller says it reminded him of the “Cornholio” character from the “Beavis and Butthead” cartoon.
Classic.
Ping!
The manager swung the club, the duct-man ducked, so the manager struck him in the groin.
Headline: “Duct ducked, goosed!”
This guy is actually dumber than Cornholio.
And he was probably under the influence of something far stronger than sugar. . .
But seriously, a duct tape covered bandit and duct taped covered weapon. MacGyver would be loving this.
LOL!!!!!
"Do da math! Do da homework! That's not me!"
ROFLMAO! That was seriously funny! Thanks for posting.
“Live 101 do I look like a duct tape bandit? That aint me Ashland Kentucky, you know me, that aint me”
I live about a mile from Shamrock Liquors. The guy that “punched him in the groin few times” according to our local paper is a hoss. Needless to say everyone in our fair city has been having quite a few laughs over this.
