PLOVER, Wis. —

A couple were thwarted in their effort to leave this small central Wisconsin town when they were arrested for robbing a gas station with a samurai sword.

Renee Ferreri, 22, told police that she and Brian A. Schmid, 24, "were tired of their lives, and they just 'gave up,'" according to a criminal complaint.

The couple needed money to leave town, so they stole a 2000 Mercury Sable on Aug. 8 from the Jeepers Gin Mill and drove to their home to pick up the sword and two stocking caps, police said.

THANK YOU for making my point and cutting to the chase scene.

From the article Police arrested the couple after a Plover officer remembered seeing several samurai swords in their apartment when he responded to a domestic disturbance call in May.

If you plan to rob a station
make sure your past is clean
if not you'll soon notice
a policeman you have previously seen

Not the sharpest individuals now are they.

“What a swordid romance these two Plovers had.”

Whew. That’s pretty sharp;I get your point.

I heard the couple was going to Wal-Mart after the gas heist to slash some prices.

Crime doesn’t pay.

This amateur swordfighter didn’t épée, either.

But Sgt. Schultz of the Carpentry Battalion, Mounted Cavalry saber saw nothing, NOTHING. “Where’s the Fence?,” he parried.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Thanks for the ping!

No doubt that was spada their plot: a duel crime, played to the hilt. With as dull as these rapier wits were, it's surprising that Ferreri wasn't one cut lass. Planning was definitely not their forte, just as greed was their foible.

"I understand the engine was a Swiss Army Light Saber unit with eight blades (A Lacerate)."

I ax you ... why did you ping me to this sordid thread?

[Rennes Templar]

“This amateur swordfighter didn’t épée, either.”

Epee? Epee? You’re pushing the envelope there. And we have a big envelope!

[skinkinthegrass]

Perhaps they were going to cut and run?

LOL!....if they don't have the training to use an Samurai sword.....they're just hackers.
