A would-be robber in a Spider-Man mask received a beating from store clerks early this morning when he tried to stick-up a local convenience store with a sword, Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown said.
Dale Foughty, 56, of Wilmington Highway, has been charged by the Onslow County Sheriff's Office with attempted armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, and injury to personal property. His bond was set at $100,000.
Foughty, allegedly wearing a Spider-Man mask, stuck a Samurai sword a female clerk’s face and said “give me your money and I will not hurt you,” Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown said in a news release.
Instead, the female clerk struck the suspect in the stomach with a broom handle.
“The store clerk then went into a total defense of her life and Spider-Man went into a total defense of his robbery attempt,” Brown said.
Another store clerk joined in the fight and Foughty was over powered.
“It was at this point the suspect dressed as Spider-Man had his mask ripped off and part of his ponytail hair ripped out,” Brown said. “The suspect, now unmasked, was just fighting to survive, got away and ran out of the store.”
An investigation led detectives to a nearby house where they found Foughty with a freshly shaven head, Brown said.
“His hair was all over a table in the living room but the suspect was unable to get rid of the lumps on his head that were left by the broom handle,” Brown said.
